STRATEGICALLY FOCUS AND TRENDS

EUROHOLD'S STRATEGIC DIRECTION FOR THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF THE GROUP

Energetics

The energy business development strategy envisages the implementation of the investment programme of the energy companies focused on the following areas: customer service and satisfaction; grid renewal and maintenance; renewables and energy efficiency; innovation and technology.

Eurohold Bulgaria AD's intention is to make Eastern European Electric Company B.V. a regional utility company in the country in terms of sustainability and customer satisfaction. The Issuer is clearly committed to investing in technology and process digitalization to improve the efficiency of utilities while maintaining financial stability and regulatory compliance, and by ensuring continuity in the operational management of the assets being acquired.

With respect to the established operating strategy of the energy companies, Eurohold intends to be guided by and follow their existing business plans, maintaining the focus and investment program approved by the Energy and Water Regulatory Commission (EWRC). The investment programme is aimed at building a more efficient electricity distribution network, which will lead to a reduction in technical losses on the transmission network, better customer service and potentially lower electricity prices for end users.

Energy companies focus on investments in e-services, digitalization, modernization and education

Electrohold's priority is to improve the quality of services and customer service. Currently, over 80% of Electrohold Sales' services and over 90% of EDG West's services have been digitized. Over half a million customers use e-invoicing and more than 200 thousand have registered for sms services. The new corporate websites are also aligned with the need for digital service

The other focus will be on investment in digitalization and modernization of the EDG West network and its services. From the beginning of 2021 to the end of 2023, nearly BGN 300 million will be invested in this area. Electrohold is focused on preparing the grid for a new generation of electricity while working hard to meet its core commitment of maintaining the country's largest grid and continuity of supply. The efforts of more than 3,000 employees are engaged in this work.

Ongoing projects include latest generation technologies for real-time grid monitoring and management, continuous consumption monitoring and optimal team utilization. Drones are being implemented and artificial intelligence is being used, which is an important prerequisite for the development of the future economy.

Electrohold will follow its policy of being a responsible investor in society. A key element in the company's sustainability concept is support for vocational education, nature conservation and the improvement of the urban environment. With the new brand, Electrohold is positioning itself as a modern and attractive employer and will continue to build on its programmes for developing young talent.

Insurance

Regarding the insurance division, Eurohold's strategy envisages organic growth, diversification of the product portfolio, increased profitability and improved returns from operations in Romania and Bulgaria. The focus will be on: product development; distribution with attention to online sales channels; and international expansion with a focus on organically growing business in the current regions and expanding into other markets under the Free Provision of Services Act.

The development of insurance companies is aimed at sustainability and organic growth of the market position of insurers, through the development of new products, both in existing classes of insurance and in the development of new combined insurance to diversify the insurance portfolio, meeting the changed expectations of customers and in line with the changed business environment, strengthening processes of exchange of know-how in management, business and corporate practices between companies, and focusing in digitalization of The activity will also focus on developing new direct distribution channels with a focus on online channels. In addition, the focus will also be on business growth through expanding the operations of insurance services distributed under the right to freedom of establishment and freedom to provide services. Eurohold's insurance business combined in the subsidiary Euroins Insurance Group is well positioned in the European markets and has strong growth potential.

Finance (Investment Brokerage and Asset Management)

The investment intermediary Euro-Finance AD is expected to continue its sustainable development by expanding its market positions and generating revenue growth. The impact of Covid-19 on this segment is negligible.

Euro-finance has fully digitalized its operations, upgraded and modernized its corporate website. Special attention is being paid to expanding Euro-Finance's presence on the Internet and reaching a wider range of potential clients by promoting the investment firm's products and services.

In 2020, Euro-Finance AD expanded the range of services it offers to its individual and institutional clients by entering into a strategic partnership with Europe's leading asset management company - Amundi Asset Management. Through Euro-Finance AD, investors can subscribe to units and savings plans from a wide range of funds managed by Amundi Asset Management. In order to reach as wide a range of potential clients as possible and to maximise sales, the company's management in 2021 initiated negotiations with so-called tied agents to start "piloting" Amundi's funds, and subsequently the other services provided by Euro-Finance plc.

Following the motto "Making capital markets more accessible", Euro-Finance plc continues with the project to develop a mobile application on the EFOCS e-trading platform. In 2021, the app is also offered in an Android version and in 2022 it will be available for iOS. The management team of Euro-Finance plc believes that the combination of competitive trading conditions on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE) and FWB Xetra and an easy-to-use trading application via a mobile device will help to significantly increase the intermediary's share in servicing individual clients in the field of financial services on the local market.

Automotive and Leasing

Trends for the currently existing businesses in the automotive and leasing segments are dependent on the impact of COVID-19 manifested in 2020, and this impact on their operations is currently becoming weaker. For 2022, it is expected to have a significantly more limited impact on the operations of these businesses.

At the same time, given the entry into a new sector market, namely energy, and the need for significant resources, both human and financial, to integrate it in order to implement the investment programme of the acquired companies, the automotive and leasing divisions of the Group do not represent a targeted priority in the Eurohold Group's development strategy. This circumstance implies that, in the event of a good investor proposal, a transaction for the sale of the business unit(s) of these divisions is possible.

In this regard, the automotive subholding of Eurohold Bulgaria AD, Auto Union AD, sold its subsidiary N Auto Sofia EAD. "N Auto Sofia EAD is the main dealer in Bulgaria of the Nissan brand and controls 51% of the capital of Espas Auto Ltd, the largest distributor in Bulgaria of Renault and Dacia brand vehicles. The company also owns 51% of EA Properties OOD, which owns the land and showroom of Nissan, Renault and Dacia in Sofia. The transaction has been finalized after approval by the Commission for Protection of Competition, and was registered in the TR on 20.08.2021.

At a later stage - mid-November 2021, Auto Union AD signed a preliminary agreement for the sale of its subsidiary Star Motors EOOD - the official importer of Mazda brand vehicles for Bulgaria and the Republic of North Macedonia. As of today, the transaction has been finalized.

In March 2022, the company will open a new Mazda dealership. Auto Union has also negotiated the sale of Daru Car EOOD. The transaction is expected to be finalized within the second quarter of 2022.

Separately, the Leasing Subholding has entered into an agreement to sell its rental car company Eurolease Rent a Car Ltd, the representative of Avis and Budget for Bulgaria, and is in the advanced stages of selling its leasing company Eurolease Auto EAD. Both transactions are expected to be finalised within the second quarter of 2022.

In addition, in a short period of time, it is possible that Eurohold Bulgaria AD will divest other companies in its automotive and leasing businesses or even cease operations in these business segments entirely. This will enable the Holding Company to focus on the strategic development and implementation of the investment plans of the insurance and energy businesses.

There are no known other trends, fluctuations, requirements, commitments or events that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the operations and financial position of the Eurohold Group for at least 2022 in the segments in which it operates.

REVIEW OF GROUP FINANCIAL RESULTS 31.03.2022

SUMMARY

Eurohold Bulgaria reports its most significant growth in revenues and profits

Eurohold Bulgaria reported operating profit of BGN 151 million and net profit for the period of BGN 37 million.

After a solid performance in 2021, the Eurohold Group continued with an impressive sales growth of 330% overall.

The main reason for this is the reporting performance of the energy business, whose size exceeds the revenue generated by the other businesses combined.

In addition, the other segments in which we operate also recorded a significant increase in their revenues, including insurance up +106%, automotive up +74% and leasing up +8%.

These results reinforce the right direction to achieve sustainable and profitable growth, through the activities undertaken in relation to Eurohold's strategic direction, the hard work on our transformation, the digitalization of processes in all business segments through the development of digital and digital sales channels and customer follow-up services.

! Important emphasis

Eurohold Group's consolidated revenues, expenses and earnings for the first quarter of 2022 differ significantly from the comparable period.

The main reason for this is the consolidation at the end of July 2021 of the companies operating in the energy sector acquired by the energy subholding in the Eastern Europe Electricity Company II B.V. (EEEC II) group.

It is important to note that in the consolidated financial statements of Eurohold for the comparative period 31.03.2021, results from energy businesses have not been reported due to the fact that at that time the energy companies were not part of the Eurohold Group.

The specific financial results of our operations are set out in the following analysis.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULT

Eurohold Group reported a consolidated result from operating activities of BGN 150.8 million for the first quarter of 2022 compared to BGN 25.4 million for the same period of 2021. The operating result achieved was 493% higher than that reported for the comparable period of 2021.

This significant increase in operating performance is due both to the positive results achieved by all of the Group's businesses (excluding the finance and investment business and the parent company) and the consolidation of the newly acquired companies in the Energy segment.

Reported earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) amounted to BGN 92.1 million, while its amount to the previous period was BGN 9.9 million. The reported growth in this indicator was 832%.

The net financial result for the first three months of 2022 is a profit of BGN 36.9 million. The profit attributable to the owners of the parent company amounts to BGN 34.6 million and for the non-controlling interest a profit of BGN 2.3 million. In comparison, in the comparative period of 2021, the Group generated a net profit of BGN 1.2 million, of which that attributable to the owners of the parent company amounted to BGN 0.4 million and that of the non-controlling interest BGN 0.8 million.

INCOME AND EXPENDITURE

+330% group revenue growth

+319% expenditure growth

Revenues on a consolidated basis are generated from the activities of the subsidiaries and Eurohold Bulgaria's individual activities related to the acquisition and management of participations and financing of subsidiaries.

Total group revenues for the three months ended 30 June 2022 amounted to BGN 1,673 million, representing an increase of 330% compared to consolidated revenues for the comparable period of 2021, when they amounted to BGN 389 million.

OTHER EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD

The Group continues to monitor and take all necessary measures in order to preserve the health of workers and to minimize the impact of the crisis caused by COVID-19.

Management is closely monitoring the situation and looking at ways to reduce the impact on the Group of the spread of the coronavirus and the restrictive and other measures imposed at peak times by the governments of the countries in which we operate. At this stage, management's assessment is that, with timely and flexible measures, the Eurohold Group has been able to deal with the consequences of the situation and reduce the impact on it as far as possible

As a result of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, a number of countries around the world, including countries of the European Union, have taken drastic sanctions against Russia, and partly against Belarus, which supports it.

Eurohold Bulgaria owns, through its subsidiary Euroins Insurance Group AD, investments in insurance companies in Ukraine, Belarus and Russia (associate participation). However, these holdings are insignificant in value compared to the Assets of the Insurance Subholding and the Assets of Eurohold Bulgaria AD.

Eurohold's management is monitoring with concern the development of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and is assessing its impact on the Group's business, analysing the impact on both sides of the conflict.

The military situation as it currently stands is highly dynamic and management cannot at this stage qualitatively and quantitatively assess its impact on the Company, and will be assessed over time depending on its development and duration, as well as the effects of sanctions imposed on the Russian and Belarusian states and the effects of the reverse sanctions imposed by Russia on states that do not support it.

As the situation is highly dynamic, the Company's management is unable to fully assess all future indirect effects, but it is possible that the impact could be negative. This in turn could lead to a change in the carrying values of Eurohold's consolidated assets. Management will continue to monitor the potential impact and will take all possible measures to mitigate the potential effects.

The Management Board of Eurohold Bulgaria AD is not aware of any other significant or material events occurring after the closing date of the reporting period and not disclosed in this Report.

OVERVIEW OF KEY RESULTS BY BUSINESS LINE

EUROINS INSURANCE GROUP - INSURANCE

In Q1 2022, Euroins Insurance Group (EIG, the Group) reported consolidated gross written premiums amounting to BGN 469 million compared to BGN 250* million for Q1 2021. EIG reported consolidated profit before taxes amounting to BGN 18 million as at March 31,2022, compared to a profit BGN 6 million reported for the comparative period.

The main contributor to the increase in the consolidated insurance premium income and reported positive financial result is Euroins Romania, where the increase in gross written premiums for Q1 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 is significant, largely due to the significant increase of the prices in Motor Third Party Liability Insurance in the last quarter of 2021.

The subscribed business of IC Euroins AD increased to BGN 86 million for Q1 2022 (Q1 2021 – BGN 74 million), of which the businesses in the Republic of Greece and the Republic of Poland were each respectively 22%. Euroins Northern Macedonia following its sustainable development strategy, also reported gross written premium of BGN 7 million and a positive result – respectively profit before taxes amounting to BGN 176 thousand.

Results by insurance companies

Euroins Bulgaria

In Q1 2022 Euroins Bulgaria reported a total GWP of BGN 86 million compared to BGN 74 million for Q1 2021. The reason for the growth of 16% is the direct insurance business written in non-motor.

Main non-motor lines of business reported growth: Accident and Travel (31%), as a significant role for this increase is the reported income from Travel assistance in the UK, Liability (7%), Guarantees (174%) due to the new business written in Greece, Cargo (10%) and Property (14%).

MTPL decrease by 2% and Motor Hull by 3% compared to Q1 2021. The decrease in motor third party liability insurance is due to the sales in Poland, where in the first quarter of 2022 Euroins Bulgaria reported gross premiums of BGN 17 million (Q1 2021 - BGN 20 million), which is due to the started in October 2021 and continuing in the first quarter of 2022 price competition, in which Euroins Bulgaria did not join and accordingly did not reduce the prices of its MTPL insurance. Assistance riders to motor third party liability insurance in Poland in the amount of BGN 1.9 million for the first quarter of 2022 (the first quarter of 2021 - BGN 1.7 million) continue to be successfully placed.

The branch in Greece reported an increase of 12% in sales of MTPL - BGN 12 million for the first quarter of 2022 against BGN 10 million for the same period in 2021. There, as well as in Poland, Assistance raiders to MTPL in the amount of BGN 2.1 million for the first quarter of 2022 have been successfully placed (Q1 2021 - BGN 1.8 million).

Net earned premiums amounted to BGN 48 million (Q1 2021- BGN 50 million), while net incurred claims reached BGN 27 million (Q1 2021- BGN 23 million).

The main ratios that define the profitability in Q1 2022 are as follows:

Loss ratio: 63% (Q1 2021- 52%)

Combined ratio: 95% (Q1 2021- 93%)

Net acquisition costs decreased by 44% for Q1 2022 compared to the previous year and compared to net earned premiums decreased by 12%. The level of the administrative expenses remained the same.

Euroins Romania

On the 17th of September CITY INSURANCE stopped policy issuing. Following the bankruptcy of CITY INSURANCE, the market immediately started to reprice MTPL by increasing, significantly, the tariffs.

Starting 24th of September, Euroins Romania implemented new tariffs that were approx. 26% higher than previous tariffs.

Starting 1st of October, the Company implemented new system of commissions for brokers. The expected decrease in the average brokerage commission is 4%.

In the first quarter of 2022 there is a normalization of the levels of the MTPL prices on the Romanian market.

In 2021 the Company changed its accounting policy in connection with the reporting of technical provisions to present in the financial statements reliable and more relevant information about the effect of operations, taking also into account local regulatory requirements. Thus, a restatement was made in accordance with IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. The comparative data presented below have been recalculated as far as they are related to the change.

The effect of this recalculation is basically one-off, although the increased amount of gross technical reserves (mainly IBNR) will have an impact on the future provisions and their greater stability.

MTPL GWP grew by 140% and remained the main line of business of the Company (96%).

Net earned premiums amounted to BGN 163 million (Q1 2021- BGN 82 million) and net claims incurred amounted to BGN 81 million (Q1 2021- BGN 59 million).

The main ratios that define the profitability in 2021 are as follows:

Loss ratio: 58% (Q1 2021- 77%)

Combined ratio: 86% (Q1 2021- 103%)

Net acquisition costs increased by 124% for Q1 2022 compared to the previous year, which is largely due to the growth of the business as a whole and almost entirely focused sales of Motor Third Party Liability through a brokerage network. This is confirmed by the fact that the same compared to net earned premiums increased with only 4%. Administrative expenses increased by 36% but compared to net earned premiums decreased only by 1.5%.

The result from investment activity is a loss – BGN 5 million (Q1 2021- BGN 3 million profit).

In the first quarter of 2022, Euroins Romania reported a profit for group purposes of BGN 14 million before taxes (Q1 2021 - BGN 1 million before taxes).

The level of MTPL gross written premium remained the same and which amounted to BGN 2.5 million and represented 36% of the total GWP for Q1 2022.

There was an increase with 4% in the net claims incurred compared to Q1 2021 and a decrease in the earned premium with 14%.

There was a decrease in the administrative expenses with 14% compared to previous year comparative period. The decrease was mainly driven by decreased costs for external services and salaries.

Net acquisition expenses decreased with 10% due to the different accounting approach for booking the commission.

The result from investment activity is a loss- BGN 55 thousand (Q1 2021- BGN 60 thousand loss).

The profit for Group purposes is amounting to BGN 176 thousand before taxes (Q1 2021- BGN 525 thousand before taxes).

Euroins Life

The result from investment activity is a profit- BGN 783 thousand (Q1 2021- 47 thousand profit).

The acquisition ratio decreased from 75% to 72% imposed due to the change in sales strategy from direct sales to the use of distribution channels – non- banking financial institutions and brokers.

In the first quarter of 2022 Euroins Life reported profit for Group purposes in the amount of BGN 528 thousand before taxes (Q1 2021 - BGN 147 thousand losses before taxes).

EIG Re

In Q1 2022 EIG Re reported gross premiums of BGN 5 million or an increase of around 14% compared to Q1 2021- BGN 4.4 million.

The main share of the active reinsurance portfolio of the Company falls on Property (48%), and Cargo (27%). Respectively: Active Reinsurance (73%- BGN 1.9 million) and Fronting (26%- BGN 670 thousand).

The Company reported a profit for Group purposes amounting to BGN 315 thousand before taxation (Q1 2021 – BGN 1 million). The decrease in the result is due to the increase in acquisition costs in connection with the accrual of additional commission under one of the main reinsurance contracts, which as of the same quarter of 2021 was not due.

The strategy of the management of Euroins Insurance Group and EIG Re is for the Company to continue its development as a reinsurer and participating in the optimization of the capital requirements of the Group and its subsidiaries in the context of Solvency II.

Euroins Ukraine

In Q1 2022 the Company reported written gross premiums amounting to BGN 7 million against BGN 10 million for Q1 2021 or a decrease of 27%. Most of the realized premium income is formed in the period before the beginning of the military conflict in Ukraine.

DESCRIPTION OF THE MAIN RISKS

This section describes the risk factors affecting the core business of the Eurohold Group.

In the event that any of the risks described in this section occur even partially or in combination with other risk factors or circumstances, this may have a significant adverse effect on the company's operations, the results of its operations or its financial condition. If this leads to a reduction in the market price of the shares, investors may lose part or all of their investment. Additional risks and other uncertain events that are not currently known or are considered insignificant as of the date of this report may also have a material adverse effect on the operations of Eurohold Bulgaria AD, the results of operations or its financial condition.

We warn potential investors that the future results of the company's activities may differ significantly from past results as a result of the occurrence of the described risks, or many other risk factors.

The users of this report should keep in mind that Eurohold Bulgaria AD develops its activities through its subsidiaries, in this regard its financial condition, operating results and development prospects are directly dependent on the condition, results and prospects of its subsidiaries. The most significant risks affecting the companies of the Eurohold group are listed below.

A. NON-SYSTEMATIC RISKS

Non-systematic risks are associated with the overall investment risk specific to a company, as well as with the sector (industry) of the economy in which it operates.

Risks related to the activity and structure of Eurohold

As far as the activity of the Eurohold Bulgaria AD is related to the management of the assets of other companies, it cannot be related to a specific sector from the domestic economy and it is exposed to the sectoral risks of the subsidiaries. The companies from the group of Eurohold Bulgaria AD operate in the following sectors: "Insurance", "leasing", "car sales" and "investment intermediation and asset management".

The impact of the individual risks is proportional to the share of the respective branch in the structure of the long-term investment portfolio of the Company.

The development trends of the Eurohold Group are directly related to the risk factors influencing the activity and business sector of the companies of the economic group, their prospects, growth potential, the ability to generate revenues and profits and maintain a stable financial position.

The presence of companies in the portfolio, whose net sales revenues are also formed from products sold to other subsidiaries (related to the group of persons), puts the efficiency of their activities in direct dependence on the level of profitability of customers (related parties), which may reflect negatively on the profitability of the whole group.

The main risk related to the activity of Eurohold Bulgaria AD is the ability to reduce the sales revenue of the companies in which it participates in the dividends received. In this regard, this may have an impact on the company's revenue growth, as well as on the change in its profitability.

Deteriorated results of one or more subsidiaries could lead to a deterioration of the results on a consolidated basis. This in turn is related to the company's share price, as a result of investors' expectations for the prospects of the company and the Eurohold Group, as the market price of the shares takes into account the business potential and assets of the economic group as a whole.

Due to the factors described above, the risks associated with Eurohold's activities must be considered together with the specific risks for each business sector represented in its economic structure.

Insurance business

The greatest risk is concentrated in the insurance business, united in the subsidiary sub-holding company Euroins Insurance Group AD (EIG), where a significant part of the Group's revenues is generated.

The risk categories inherent in the EIG, such as an insurance holding company, are identified and classified in accordance with the identified risk categories at the level of subsidiaries. In accordance with the lines of business issued in the license for performing insurance activity of the undertakings, subsidiaries identify the following categories of risk:

Underwriting risk

The underwriting risk reflects the risk of loss or of adverse change in the value of insurance liabilities, in respect of the covered insurance risks and the processes, used in the performance of the undertaking activities. Underwriting risk includes the following sub-risks:

  • Risk associated with premiums and reserves
  • Lapse risks;
  • Catastrophic risks.

The identification of the underwriting risk and the risk of formation of technical provisions at the level of the Group applies an individual approach to reporting the results provided by the subsidiaries in view of their activity, scale and nature of the intrinsic risk, taking into account the following factors:

  • Share of the company in relation to the total volume of activity in the Group;
  • The subsidiary's local legislation and requirements for the application of the Solvency II rules;
  • Other factors, approved by the Risk Management Committee.

In calculating the technical provisions, each insurance company, despite its policies, adheres to the following basic principles:

  • Technical provisions are calculated in a reasonable, reliable and objective manner;
  • The data for calculating the technical provisions are appropriate, complete and accurate and meet the requirements of Art. 19 of Regulation (EC) 2015/35 on completeness and quality;
  • The calculation of technical provisions is subject to the principles of market coherence, i.e., the calculation is based on and consistent with the information, received from the financial markets and from the publicly available underwriting risk data.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss or adverse change in the financial situation resulting, directly or indirectly, from fluctuations in the levels and volatility of market prices of the assets, liabilities and financial instruments of the subsidiaries.

Market risk includes the following sub-risks:

  • Interest rate risk;
  • Spread risk;
  • Share-related risk
  • Property risk;
  • Concentration risk;
  • Currency risk.

All marketable financial instruments in the Group are exposed to market risk, which represents the risk of increasing or decreasing their market value as a result of future changes in market conditions. Financial instruments are measured at fair value and any changes in market conditions are reflected directly in the financial statements. In order to avoid the risk of concentration, Euroins Insurance Group AD strives to maintain optimal diversification of investments and to make them in financial institutions with a high rating. Companies within the scope of the Group adhere to the "prudent investor".

Credit risk

Credit risk reflects possible losses as a result of unexpected default or deterioration of the credit position of counterparties or debtors of subsidiaries over the next 12 (twelve) months. The Group maintains its established relationships with leading reinsurance companies in the industry with a high credit rating, which minimizes the risk of default of the type 1 counterparty.

Operational risk

Operational risk means the risk of loss as a result of inappropriate or malfunctioning internal processes, people or systems, or external events. The executive directors of the companies within the scope of the Group in connection with the operational risk management:

  • have distributed the powers and responsibilities for operational risk management and has an approved list of employees responsible for identifying and reporting operational events;
  • carry out operational control over the periodicity and completeness of the reports and assessments of the operational risk, prepared by the risk management function.

The main sources of operational risk at the group level are personnel, processes, systems, internal events. Losses from operating events that arise as a result of different combinations of factors are classified into several main categories:

  • internal fraud;
  • external fraud;
  • customers, product and business practices;
  • damage to tangible assets;
  • interruption of the activity and / or failure of the information system;
  • management of execution, delivery and processing.

The identification of the operational risk is carried out through constant monitoring, reporting and archiving of the operational events. The minimization of the operational risk is carried out through a set of measures aimed at reducing the probability of occurrence of an operational event and / or reducing the amount of potential loss from the operational event.

Insurance risk management

The objective probability of damage to property or non-property goods, the realization of which is uncertain, unknown and regardless of the will of the insured person represents an insurance risk.

An insurance contract is a contract under which the Group assumes significant insurance risk on the other hand (insured person) by agreeing to compensate the insured person or other beneficiary in the event of a specific unexpected future event (the insured event) that adversely affects the insured person or beneficiary.

The property is subject to a number of risks, including theft, fire, business disruption and weather conditions. Compensation for phenomena such as storms, floods, landslides, fires, explosions, and rising crime rates occur on a regional scale, which means that each company manages the distribution of its geographical risk very carefully. In the event of an earthquake, each company expects the real estate portfolio to include high claims for structural real estate claims and large claims due to business disruptions, while transportation links are down and the property is closed due to renovations. Each company accepts the total risk exposure, which is ready to take in certain areas for a number of events such as natural disasters.

The current aggregate position is monitored during the signing of a risk and monthly reports are prepared,

which show the key concentrations to which each of the Group companies is exposed. Each of the insurance companies uses different modelling tools to control concentration and simulate catastrophe losses to measure the effectiveness of reinsurance programs and their net risk exposure. During the year, "stress" and "scenario" tests are conducted using these models.

The greatest probability of significant losses for any insurance company arises from catastrophic events such as floods, damage, claims from storms or earthquakes. Each company manages its risk by concluding reinsurance contracts.

The opinion of the management regarding the concentration of risk is that efforts have been made for equal territorial distribution of the insured property. The risk is systematically assessed by the Reinsurance Director of the respective company and the accumulation of insurance amounts by regions is monitored.

The Management does not consider that at the end of the reporting period there are significant concentrations of insurance risk in the portfolio of each insurance company, part of the Group. The opinion of the Management regarding the concentration of the insurance risk is that efforts have been made for a relatively even distribution of the insured property and cars. A systematic risk assessment is performed and the accumulation of insurance amounts is monitored both by groups of clients and by regions.

Reinsurance risk management

Insurance companies, part of the Group, assign their insurance risk to limit their exposure to losses when concluding various insurance contracts that cover individual risk, group risks or certain lines of co-insurance business, which are renewable on an annual basis. These reinsurance contracts distribute the risk and minimize the effect of losses. The amount of each risk retained depends on the assessment of the specific risk of each company, which in certain circumstances reaches limits based on the characteristics of the coverage. Under the terms of the reinsurance contracts, the reinsurer agrees to reimburse the assigned amount in the event that the indemnity is paid. However, each company remains liable to its insured persons in respect of the assigned insurance if the reinsurer fails to meet the obligations it assumes. In non-life insurance, the predominant use of reinsurance aims to manage exposures to time-related events, natural events, multi-victim events, catastrophic fires and responsibilities (General Civil Liability and Motor Third Party Liability). When choosing a reinsurer, each company takes into account relative security. The security of the reinsurer is assessed on the basis of a public rating and conducted internal surveys.

Energy business

Regulatory risk

The regulatory risk is related to the impact of the existing regulatory framework or its change on the Company's activities, as well as to potential fines and sanctions due to violations of this framework. The energy business is a highly regulated economic sector, as the financial results of the companies operating in the field of energy are directly dependent on a number of normative acts and decisions of the state regulatory body (EWRC). Companies are at risk of not taking into account all the costs associated with their normal activities when setting electricity prices by the regulator.

  • Risks related to unpredictability of the changes in the regulations and possible negative impact of these changes on the activities of the Company;
  • Risk of revocation of licenses;
  • Risk of imposition of a fine by the CPC and EWRC;
  • Risk of inability of the Company to cover all its operating costs under the final supplier license, as well as risk of lack of regulatory changes allowing their reduction;
  • Risks related to the behaviour of key market participants and their impact on the electricity market;
  • Risks related to increased financial requirements for companies such as mandatory guarantees and deposits from key market participants;
  • Risks related to the way of organization, model, structure and vision for the development of the free electricity market;
  • Risks related to the introduction of additional legal direct and indirect obligations to producers, traders, customers and network companies on the free electricity market, incl. increase and / or

introduction of new fees, taxes, contributions, energy efficiency obligations.

The dynamics of regulatory changes related to the European Union's strategy for liberalization and development of energy markets is directly dependent on the political situation. Frequent changes in the political environment are a prerequisite for a more unstable and difficult to predict regulatory environment.

Market risk

Risk related to the consumption of electricity and the price for the purchase of energy for technological costs on an organized stock market due to economic, political, technological reasons and climate change, as well as the risk of liberalization of the electricity market. These are risks that arise from reasons external to the Company and the Company's ability to effectively influence the factors determining this risk is severely limited. Market risks can be characterized as:

  • Risks related to competition and switching suppliers on the free market;
  • Risks related to the changes in the prices of electricity on the wholesale market and their impact on the energy position and the expected trade margin of the Company;
  • Risks due to the expressed volatility and unpredictability of the wholesale market and the fundamentals influencing (prices of natural gas, fuels, CO2 emissions, RES, EU policy, market mergers, climate change, etc.);
  • Risks related to liquidity and adequate supply of long-term energy products on the wholesale market, corresponding to the consumption profile of end customers;
  • Risks due to seasonality, climate change, repair programs of producers, transmission capacities, emergency shutdowns of producers, and other unforeseen events that may affect the wholesale electricity market;
  • Risks related to incorrect forecasting and / or abrupt change of the wholesale market and inability of the Company to adapt the portfolio of end customers to the changes;
  • Risks related to market infrastructure, data exchange systems, security and information protection;
  • Risks related to the behaviour of trade participants, experience and code of ethics;
  • Risks arising from leaving open positions of other participants in the balancing group of the Company;
  • Risk of non-renewal of contracts with end customers due to internal and external factors;
  • Risk of changes in the regulatory framework, respectively impossibility to fully or partially transfer the purchase costs on the selling prices to end customers.

Operational risks

The companies are exposed to a number of risks related to its business activities and processes, incl. risks of default by third parties, on which the Company relies for the performance of its activity; risks of direct and indirect losses; risks related to the staff and the organization of the internal processes and others.

Specific operational risk for companies arises after the entry into force of Regulation 2016/679 of 25.05.2018, related to the protection of personal data. As controllers of personal data, they are obliged to maintain information systems that cover all standards of information security, and to apply reliable technical and organizational procedures, rules and measures to ensure the security of processing, including the prevention of unauthorized access to personal data. data of customers and contractors.

Part of the operational risks is the security risk - the risk of losses due to intentional illegal actions by outsiders or employees of the company.

Other operational risks are related to unregulated use of electricity. In order to detect and prevent them, inspections of various facilities on the network are carried out in order to identify points where illegal actions related to electricity consumption are performed. A number of methods are used to identify checkpoints where risk illegal actions are possible.

Other risk specific to the activity and industry of energy companies are:

  • Risk that the activity will be adversely affected by a reduction in electricity consumption due to economic, political or technological reasons;
  • Businesses are at risk from climate change;
  • The activity is exposed to the risk of increase in the price of electricity as a result of rising prices of primary energy resources and stricter standards for CO2 emissions;
  • Liberalization of the electricity market in the Republic of Bulgaria and strengthening of competition;
  • Risks related to interruptions in the supply of electricity;
  • Litigation or other out-of-court procedures or actions may have an adverse effect on business, financial condition or results of operations;
  • Risk of choosing an inappropriate market strategy;
  • Risk of impossibility to detain and hire quality staff;
  • Strikes or other industrial actions, as well as negotiations with trade unions may disrupt the activity or increase its operating costs;
  • Risks related to the obligation of the Company under the Energy Efficiency Act;
  • Risk of impossibility or limitations in the provision of attracted resources, including a significant increase in the cost of financing and changes in interest rates.

Automotive business

The automobile sub-holding Avto Union AD operates mainly in the field of sale of new cars, warranty and post-warranty servicing of cars, sale of spare parts and oils, fuel card operator.

Risks related to withdrawal of permits and authorizations

The activity is directly dependent on the availability of permits and authorizations that the respective car manufacturers have provided to the companies in the group of Avto Union AD, the termination or revocation of such rights can dramatically reduce the sales of the car group. This is particularly important in the context of global restructuring of the automotive industry. The business environment in the automotive industry is also influenced by purely internal factors related to the general purchasing power, access to financing, business tendencies, inventory levels, etc.

Risks related to non-compliance by suppliers or other interruptions of different origins

The market sale of cars and spare parts subject to distribution by the subsidiaries of Avto Union AD may be affected by non-performance by suppliers or other interruptions of various origins. Such difficulties can be both of a legal nature and of a technical nature and they could have a serious effect on the sales volume and hence on the group profits of Avto Union AD.

Dependence on norms and standards

The ever-increasing environmental and safety standards for cars in the EU determine the sale of only new cars that comply with changing regulations (technical, environmental and tax). Any incompatibility or contradiction with such regulations could limit the sales of companies in the automotive group.

Other systematic and non-systematic risks of particular importance

The business environment in the automotive industry is significantly influenced by the risk factors related to the purchasing power of the population, access to finance, business sentiment, stocks and others.

Leasing business

Risk of lack of attracted external debt financing at reasonable prices

Access to borrowed capital is essential for the successful development of the business of the Eurolease Group AD. Historically, borrowed capital has been raised by local and international banks and financial institutions or through the issuance of corporate bonds, most of which are publicly traded on the local regulated market.

The long-term successful development of the leasing business is directly dependent on the ability of the Eurolease Group to attract sufficient borrowed resources at an affordable price, the lack of which could have a significant adverse effect on its prospects, results and/or financial condition.

Risk that the leasing group will not be able to fulfil its obligations under the borrowed funds

This is the risk arising from the inability of Eurolease Group AD and/or its subsidiaries to meet their obligations under the borrowed funds. This risk is associated with delayed, partial or complete failure of matured obligations to pay interest and principal on borrowed funds. The credit risk also represents the risk that a counterparty will not pay its obligation to any of the companies in the group. The Group is exposed to this risk in connection with various financial instruments, such as in the event of receivables from customers, the provision of loans, deposits and others.

The policy, adopted by the Group in order to minimize the risk of non-payment, is to assess preliminary the creditworthiness of customers and to require additional collateral on leasing contracts – insurance of leased assets, preservation of original documents for property ownership, registration of leasing contracts in the Central Register of Special Collaterals, third party guarantees or promissory notes. The Group's policy in this area is aimed at providing leasing services to customers with appropriate credit reputation and securing the claim by preservation of the legal ownership of the leased asset. Concentration of credit risk arises from customers with similar economic characteristics, where it's possible changes in economic or other conditions to reflect simultaneously on their ability to meet their obligations.

Investment intermediation and asset management

The activity of investment intermediation and asset management in the Group is represented by the investment intermediary Euro-Finance AD. The risk in the sector of financial intermediation and asset management is related to the high volatility of the debt and capital markets, the changes in financial tendencies and the investment culture of the general public.

Market and credit risk

The financial results of Euro-Finance AD depend on market risk and credit risk, respectively, given the fact that a large part of the assets of Euro-Finance AD are invested in publicly traded securities with fixed yield, denominated in several currencies, whose market value changes daily. Euro-Finance AD is definitely a very well-capitalized company, given the current regulatory requirements, but sharp and significant failures in the financial markets, as well as the credit profile of the specific issuers of securities in whose instruments Euro-Finance AD has invested capital, could have a significant adverse effect on the prospects of Euro-Finance AD, its results and/or financial condition.

Risk in settlement and clearing of transactions

As a leading and active local financial broker with a large local business in the management of financial assets and the provision of brokerage services, which serves both institutional and individual investors, Euro-Finance AD daily settles and clears many transactions with many counterparties. contractors. Risk of communication error in the settlement process, which, although currently completely minimized, exists and may limit the company's ability to effectively serve its customers, which could have a significant adverse effect on the prospects of Euro-Finance AD, its results and / or financial condition.

Risk of change in the regulatory framework

Euro-Finance AD operates in a highly regulated environment and is obliged to perform activities in full compliance with the current legislation under the supervision of the relevant regulatory authority in Bulgaria (Financial Supervision Commission). As a supervised entity of the Financial Supervision Commission, Euro-Finance AD is obliged to fully comply with the mandatory rules and regulations, including newly adopted ones, of the local regulator. Any non-compliance or even delay in the implementation of mandatory regulations could have a significant adverse effect on the prospects of Euro-Finance AD, its results and / or financial condition.

Risks in the transmission and processing of information

Euro-Finance AD performs all stock exchange transactions, asset management, currency trading and settlement activities only electronically and is therefore exposed to the risk of loss of information transfer or theft of personal and confidential information. Failure to ensure continuity and the necessary level of protection of the flow of information may jeopardize the company's internal securities trading system, its databases and day-to-day transactions, which in turn may damage the company's image in the eyes of its clients and contractors. Any loss of full control over the information flow could have a significant adverse effect on the prospects of Euro-Finance AD, its results and/or financial condition

Risks related to Eurohold's development strategy

Eurohold's future profits and economic value depend on the strategy chosen by the company's senior management and its subsidiaries. The choice of inappropriate strategy may lead to significant losses.

Eurohold Bulgaria AD tries to manage the risk of strategic errors through continuous monitoring of the different stages upon implementation of its marketing strategy and the results thereof. This is extremely important, so that they can react in a timely manner, in case a change in the strategic development plan is needed at a certain stage. Untimely or inappropriate changes in the strategy can also have a considerable negative effect on the activity of the Company, its operating results and financial position.

Risks associated with future acquisitions and their integration in the structure

At present, the economic group of Eurohold Bulgaria AD develops its operations mainly in Bulgaria and other European countries such as Romania, Northern Macedonia, Ukraine, Georgia, Greece, Belarus and Russia through acquisitions of companies and assets. The Issuer expects that such acquisitions will continue in the future. The Group intends to implement a strategy for identifying and acquiring businesses, companies and assets with a view to expanding its operations. The risk for Company is the uncertainty as to whether it will succeed and, in the future, identify the appropriate acquisition and investment opportunities. On the other hand, there is uncertainty as to the evaluation of the profitability of future asset acquisitions and whether they will lead to comparable results with the investments made so far. Also, investments in new acquisitions are subject to a number of risks, including possible adverse effects on the performance of the economic group as a whole, unforeseen events, as well as difficulties in integrating and optimizing operations and complementary businesses.

Risks related to the management of Eurohold. Operating risk

Operating risk is the risk of direct and indirect losses to the Group arising from various internal factors related to the Group's operations, personnel, technology and infrastructure, as well as external factors other than credit, market and liquidity risk and arising from legal requirements and generally accepted rules for corporate ethics.

The risks related to the management of the Company are the following:

  • making wrong decisions for the current investment management and liquidity of the Company and the Group as a whole, both by the senior management and the operative employees of Eurohold;
  • the inability of the management to start the implementation of planned projects or lack of suitable employees for the specific projects;
  • possible technical errors in the unified management information system;
  • possible errors in the internal control system;
  • key employees leaving the Company and inability to employ personnel with the necessary qualities;

▪ risk of excessive increase in the expenses for management and administration, which leads to a decrease in the total profitability of the Company.

The Group defines the operating risk as: the risk of loss or non-realization of profits, which is caused by non-functioning or not implemented internal control systems or by factors external to the Group, such as economic condition, changes in the insurance environment, technical progress and others. Legal risk is part of operational risk and arises as a result of non-compliance or misapplication of legal and contractual commitments that would have an adverse effect on operations. The definition does not include strategic risk and goodwill risk.

The Group's objective is to manage operational risk so as to prevent financial loss and in the most efficient manner, while maintaining its good reputation and at the same time not hindering initiative and creativity in its actions.

Risks related to the inability of Eurohold to raise capital to finance its strategic objectives

The opportunities of Eurohold Bulgaria AD to grow and implement its strategies depend to a large extent on the ability to attract capital. The instability of financial markets, as well as the possible apparent lack of trust between financial institutions, could make it significantly more difficult to attract long-term capital on reasonable terms.

The management of the Eurohold Bulgaria AD supports the efforts of the subsidiaries in the Group for borrowing bank resources for investment and using the opportunities this type of financing gives for the provision of cash. The volume of these borrowings is maintained at certain levels and they are resolved after proving the economic effectiveness of each Company.

Some of Eurohold's subsidiaries, in particular leasing and automotive companies, due to the nature of their activities, use a significant attracted resource. The lack of resources for their financing can lead to disruption of the rhythm of their activities and to the realization of negative financial results, and this directly affects the group financial condition of Eurohold.

Management's policy is to raise financial resources from the market in the form of mainly equity securities (shares), debt instruments (bonds) and loans from banking and non-banking institutions, which it invests in its subsidiaries to finance their projects, by increasing their capital or lending. Apart from that, Eurohold Bulgaria AD monitors the capital structure of each company and takes actions to maintain the regulatory capital requirements for each business segment by increasing their capital.

Risks related to recruiting and retaining qualified staff

The business of Eurohold Bulgaria AD is highly dependent on the contribution of a number of persons, members of the management and supervisory bodies, senior and middle management managers of the parent company and the subsidiaries of the main business lines. It is uncertain that these key employees will continue to work for Eurohold in the future. Eurohold's success will also be linked to its ability to retain and motivate these individuals. The inability of the Company to maintain sufficiently experienced and qualified personnel for managerial, operational and technical positions may have an adverse effect on the activities of the economic group as a whole, its operational results and its financial condition.

Risk of concentration

There is a risk of concentration, which is the possibility that the company may incur a loss due to the concentration of financial resources in the business sector or related parties. This risk is expressed in the possibility that the invested funds will not be fully recovered due to a recession in the business invested.

Risk of lack of liquidity

The liquidity risk is related to the possibility that Eurohold Bulgaria AD, is not able to repay its liabilities in the amount agreed and/or within the stipulated deadline. The issuer seeks to minimize this risk through optimal cash flow management within the group. The Group applies an approach which should provide the liquid resource needed to cover the liabilities which have occurred from normal or exceptional conditions, without realizing unacceptable losses or damaging the reputation of the separate companies and the business group as a whole.

Subsidiaries make financial planning that seeks to meet the payment of expenses and current liabilities for a period of ninety days, including the servicing of financial liabilities. This financial planning minimizes or excludes completely the potential effect from occurrence of exceptional circumstances.

Risk of possible transactions between the companies in the group, whose conditions differ from the market ones, as well as risk of dependence on the activity of the subsidiaries

The relationships with related parties result from contracts for temporary financial assistance for the subsidiaries and transactions related to the ordinary commercial activity of the subsidiaries.

The risk of possible realization of transactions between the companies in the Group, under conditions which differ from the market conditions, is the risk of achieving low profitability from the provided inter-group financing. Another risk which may be assumed is not obtaining enough revenue from the inter-group commercial transactions, and subsequently not making good profit for the respective Company. On a consolidated level, this might have a negative impact on the profitability of the whole group.

Within the Eurohold are performed transactions between the Parent Company and the subsidiaries, as well as between the subsidiaries themselves, which originate from the nature of their main activity. All transactions with related parties are made under conditions which do not differ from the usual market prices and in compliance with IAS 24 "Related party disclosures".

Eurohold Bulgaria AD operates through its subsidiaries, which means that its financial results are directly dependent on the financial results, development and prospects of the subsidiaries. Bad results of one or several subsidiaries may lead to aggravation of the financial results on a consolidated basis.

B. SYSTEMATIC RISKS

Macroeconomic risk

Macroeconomic risk is the risk of shocks that may affect economic growth, population income, supply and demand, profit making by economic agents, etc. These shocks include global economic and business conditions, fluctuations in national currencies, political events, changes in legislation and regulatory requirements, national government priorities, etc. Trends in the macroeconomic environment affect market performance and the bottom line of all sectors in the economy. Bulgaria has an open economy and its development depends directly on international market conditions.

Trends in the macroeconomic environment affect market performance and the bottom line of all sectors in the economy.

The outcome of the realisation of certain risks related to the international environment will also depend to a large extent on the plans and preventive measures of individual countries and international institutions, as evidenced by the recent global economic crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. The risk of the impact of the international environment on companies cannot be diversified and affects all players, but on the other hand it can become a driver for the development and implementation of innovation and digitalisation that can dramatically change and increase business efficiency on a global scale.

The macroeconomic situation and economic growth globally are fundamental to the development of Eurohold Bulgaria plc and its subsidiaries, including the government policies of the respective countries in which it operates and, in particular, the regulations and decisions made by the respective Central Banks that affect monetary and interest rate policies, exchange rates, taxes, GDP, inflation, budget deficits and external debt, unemployment rates and income structure.

Macroeconomic trends, such as: the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic declared worldwide in early 2020 and the measures taken by the governments of the affected countries; the global economic crisis; the slowdown in economic growth; the risk of systematic global financial fluctuations; recurrent fiscal imbalances; changes in exchange rates to certain currencies; volatility in energy prices; economic and political uncertainty in some regions of the world; the decline in

The development of Bulgaria's economy faces the risk of external influences and depends directly on international market conditions. The presence of adverse macroeconomic conditions in Bulgaria, including increases in unemployment and inflation, and fiscal instability could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and/or results of operations.

The Eurohold Group has operations in Bulgaria, Romania, North Macedonia, Ukraine, Greece, Spain, Italy, Poland, Georgia, Belarus and Russia and other European countries and, accordingly, its overall financial position and the results of its operations are affected by the economic, legal and political conditions in these countries. Any deterioration in macroeconomic conditions in such countries or in the wider CEE/SEE region could adversely affect certain products and services offered by the Group and result in lower revenues than originally planned. In addition, general changes in government policy and regulatory systems in any such jurisdiction may result in increased operating costs and capital requirements for the Group. Any future periods of economic slowdown or slow economic growth in any of the markets in which the Group operates could have an adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition, cash flows, results of operations or prospects.

Risk of occurrence of force majeure circumstances

We are currently witnessing a macroeconomic risk posed by the scale and spread of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), which has affected the entire world and dramatically impacted global macroeconomics and economic growth. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, at the end of the first quarter and throughout the second quarter of 2020, much of the global economy slowed down and activity in some sectors was almost completely suspended. As a result of the measures imposed by governments, a significant part of international trade was hampered. At the global level, the consequent effects on business of the economic disruption caused by the pandemic were: a worsened economic outlook, a significant increase in expected credit losses and other impairments, and a reduction in revenues driven by lower volumes and reduced customer activity.

The impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the global automotive industry (at the end of the first and beginning of the second quarter of 2020) has been significant, with sharp production curtailments and even shutdowns in some countries. As a result of the pandemic, car manufacturers around the world have made significant losses. This also affected the car sales business of Eurohold's automotive group companies due to supply chain disruption and reduced consumer activity. All of this also had a negative impact on the business of the Group's leasing companies, whose services and products are mainly related to the finance leasing of new and used vehicles, the short-term ("rent a car") and long-term ("operating lease") rental of vehicles, and the sale of used vehicles.

In 2021, the Covid-19 pandemic will continue to impact the health system, the social environment and the economy. Deviations in energy resource prices as well as the dislocation of trade relationships, leading to a global wave of intense inflationary pressures, had a strong impact. Following the start of mass vaccination, a gradual recovery of the global and domestic economy and the expected rebound in global activity also began. In Bulgaria, however, economic activity and unchanged household final consumption will contribute to expected economic growth of around 3.8% in 2021. The labour market also experienced favourable developments, and unemployment continued to decline, following its trend, reaching 4.8% at the end of the year. The banking system remained sound, well capitalised, with high levels of liquidity meeting the requirements of the regulatory authorities.

Currently, uncertainty and risks to the economy remain high. The latest wave of the Omicron coronavirus, which became active in early 2022, has again led to a slowdown in the economic recovery in Europe, accompanied by high inflation, absenteeism and online work, and increasing material, equipment and labour shortages. Record energy prices have further made life more expensive and reduced the purchasing power of Europeans, especially in low-income households. In general, the impact of the pandemic on economic activity has been waning over time, including the delay in recovery caused by Omicron will not last long given the waning of the wave and the start of the removal of containment measures. But possible new waves of infection, correspondingly imposed counter-epidemic measures and continued staff shortages could hamper the recovery of economic activity. They could also delay the functioning of critical supply chains longer than expected. On the other hand, weaker demand growth in the short term could help to overcome supply bottlenecks somewhat earlier than expected.

The hostilities that began have received widespread international condemnation and multiple countries have imposed sanctions on assets and operations owned by the Russian state and certain individuals. The IMF notes that the sanctions imposed by a number of countries against Russia are having an impact on the global economy and financial markets and will have significant spill-over effects in other countries. In many countries, the crisis is causing adverse shocks to both inflation and activity against a backdrop of already elevated price pressures. Central banks are closely monitoring the impact of international price rises on domestic inflation, with a view to monitoring and, if necessary, taking appropriate, carefully judged responses. Fiscal policy will need to support the most vulnerable households to offset rising living costs.

The economic consequences of the military conflict in Ukraine cannot be assessed at this stage of development, but are already indicating extremely serious cost effects on the overall global economy. They could lead to an intensification of the already strong uncertainty caused by Covid-19, further complicating the supply chain due to constraints and logistical problems and exacerbating inflationary pressures. If the conflict continues, the economic damage will be significant and is expected to affect all sectors of the Bulgarian and EU economy, including the sectors and regions in which the Eurohold Group operates.

"Eurohold Bulgaria plc seeks to monitor the likelihood of the macroeconomic risk occurring and is developing group-wide measures to mitigate, to the extent possible, the effects that the existence of this risk may have. However, the Holding Company cannot completely exclude and limit its impact on the business, financial position, earnings and cash flows at a group level. There is also the possibility that the occurrence of this risk could exacerbate other risks or a combination of risks.

Risk of force majeure events

Force Majeure Circumstances are all natural disasters and other cataclysms such as sudden climatic changes, floods, earthquakes, civil disobedience, clashes, strikes, acts of terrorism and war and the like which are of an unforeseeable nature. Acts of God may also be failures of the physical plant of a mechanical nature due to human or systematic error. The occurrence of such events may disrupt the normal operations of the Company until the damage caused is repaired. They may also result in an unpredictable change in investor attitude and interest in relation to the market for the equity and debt securities issued by the Company.

Force majeure circumstances may also arise which could have a severe impact on the overall macroeconomic and international environment. An example of such a risk is the "Pandemic" declared by the World Health Organization from an outbreak of acute respiratory syndrome associated with a new coronavirus (COVID-19) developing in early 2020.

Risk associated with COVID-19

The extent of the impact of the coronary crisis on the Eurohold Group depends on a number of factors, the most significant of which are the measures taken by the governments of the countries in which we operate, as well as those of our suppliers (mainly automotive companies). It also depends on the purchasing power of our customers, these are factors over which we have no influence. With the Eurohold Group's development strategy adopted in 2021, namely to reduce the share of or exit the automotive and leasing businesses and focus on the insurance and energy businesses, Eurohold management believes that the future impacts of Covid-19 on the Group would be insignificant.

While the outlook for the group is significantly more certain than it was at the end of 2020, there is still some uncertainty in a number of key areas. Continued volatility in the speed of economic recovery in the regions in which we operate, a possible prolongation of reduced economic activity as a result of the impact of the coronavirus, ongoing stock market volatility, supply chain disruption and movement restrictions across Europe could impact the Group's capital position and liquidity, meaning that the level of uncertainty continues.

The Company's management will continue to assess the impact of the COVID-19 crisis and will review its financial performance, assess risk accordingly and take appropriate flexible business management actions to mitigate the impact.

As at the date of this report, Eurohold Bulgaria plc is a stable business structure with a sustained market position and preserved operating profitability, able to ensure a good outlook for its shareholders and partners in the face of an unprecedented health and economic crisis.

Political risk

Political risk reflects the impact of the political processes in the country on the business and investment process and, in particular, on the return on investment. The degree of political risk is determined by the likelihood of adverse changes in the direction of the government's long-term economic policy, which may have a negative impact on investment decisions. Other factors related to this risk are possible legislative changes and changes in the tax system affecting the business and investment climate in the country.

The Republic of Bulgaria is a country with political and institutional stability based on modern constitutional principles, such as a multi-party parliamentary system, free elections, ethnic tolerance and a clear system of separation of powers.

Political risks include the successful continuation of Bulgaria's integration into the European Union (EU). After our country's accession to the EU in early 2007, economic reforms were imposed in the name of our country's integration into the European Union. In the future, economic growth will depend on the political will to continue the economic reforms in order to implement the EU's best market practices in economic, political, social, legal and financial terms.

In spite of the stable policy pursued so far, there is no certainty that factors will not emerge in the country that would create social and political tensions, lead to a significant and abrupt change in political and economic conditions, which could have a significant adverse effect on business. At present, the political environment in Bulgaria is not particularly stable. This instability is caused by the regular and two early parliamentary elections held in 2021 to form a government, in the latter of which the party that won the most votes, which is newly formed, managed to form a coalition government, which is not very stable at these stages. In this context, there may be political and public disagreements on possible legislative changes, in particular those concerning the economic and investment climate in the country. There is also no political consensus in the country at this point in time on the complicated geopolitical situation in the region as a result of the development of the Russian-Ukrainian crisis.

A potential political instability in the country and in Europe could have a material adverse effect on the Company's and its Group's business, operating results and financial condition. The Company, through its subsidiaries, operates in the regions affected by the military conflict and is therefore also vulnerable to foreign political risks and their effects on the economy of the country, the regions affected by the conflict and Europe as a whole.

Given the uncertainty of the outcome of the dynamic political and economic environment created, users of this Report should consider the existence of political risk according to their own understanding and expectations.

Risk of high levels of unemployment

Unemployment risk is characterised by a fall in labour demand, influenced by real aggregate demand in the economy, resulting in a decline in the real purchasing power of some economic agents.

High levels of unemployment may seriously threaten economic growth in the country, which in turn may lead to a contraction in consumption and a reduction in the revenues generated by economic entities in the country, including revenues generated by the Company and its subsidiaries.

According to the National Statistical Institute (NSI) for the fourth quarter of 2021, the following indicators are reported:

  • The economic activity rate for the population aged 15-64 is 72%, increasing by 0.6 percentage points compared to the first quarter of 2021..
  • The employment rate for the population aged 15-64 is 68.4%.
  • The unemployment rate is 4.9%.
  • The discouraged persons aged 15-64 were 55.3 thousand, or 4.5% of the economically inactive persons in the same age group.

Country credit risk

Credit risk is the probability of a country's international credit ratings deteriorating. Low credit ratings of a country can lead to higher interest rates, more difficult financing conditions for economic entities, including Eurohold.

On 28.05.2022 Standard & Poor's affirmed Bulgaria's long-term and short-term foreign and local currency credit rating at 'BBB/A-2'. The rating outlook remains stable.

The rating agency expects that the Russia-Ukraine military conflict will cause a shock to the Bulgarian economy and, as a consequence, real GDP growth in 2022 will slow to 1.6% from 4.3% (in their November forecast) and the budget deficit will double to 5% of GDP. S&P notes that Bulgaria's strong external and fiscal balances will help mitigate this shock, while robust EU transfer inflows will support growth in the medium term.

The stable outlook reflects S&P's expectation that the Bulgarian economy will not experience large external or fiscal imbalances. Rather, the shock to the economy from the military conflict will be temporary and economic growth will pick up from 2023, supported by the inflow of EU transfers. S&P expects this to limit the increase in the general government debt, which will remain low internationally.

On 22.01.2022 Fitch Ratings affirmed Bulgaria's 'BBB' long-term foreign and local currency sovereign credit rating with a positive outlook.

The positive outlook reflects our country's plans for euro area membership. According to Fitch Ratings, the downside risks in the short term associated with the pandemic have diminished and are offset by the expected significant financial resources from the EU and the commitment to maintaining macroeconomic and fiscal stability (further supported by the inclusion of the Bulgarian lev in the Monetary Mechanism II).

Source: www.minfin.bg

The adoption of a consistent and long-term economic policy in Bulgaria would be a good reason for the potential upgrade of the country's credit rating, which in turn would have a favourable impact on Eurohold's economic group in terms of financing opportunities for the Group. In the event of a downgrade of Bulgaria's credit rating as a result of unstable country management, there could also be a negative impact on the Group's cost of funding, unless its borrowing arrangements are not fixed rate.

Inflation risk

Inflation risk is associated with the likelihood that inflation will affect real investment returns. The main risks associated with the inflation outlook relate to international price dynamics and the pace of economic growth in Bulgaria. International commodity prices could rise more significantly as a result of political crises or increases in demand. The limited international supply of some agricultural commodities, especially cereals, in the context of adverse weather events may further cause higher inflation in the country.

According to preliminary data of the NSI, the consumer price index for April 2022 compared to March 2022 is 102.5%, i.e., the monthly inflation rate is 2.5%. Year-to-date inflation (April 2022 vs. December 2021) is 7.8% and annual inflation for April 2022 vs. April 2021 is 14.4%. Annual average inflation for the period May 2021 to April 2022 compared to the period May 2020 to April 2021 is 7.0%.

Source: www.nsi.bg

Inflation may affect the amount of the Company's expenses as a portion of the Company's liabilities are interest bearing. Their servicing is linked to current interest rates, which also reflect national inflation rates. Therefore, maintaining low inflation rates in the country is seen as a significant factor for Eurohold Group's operations.

At the current time and in general, the currency board mechanism provides assurances that inflation in the country will remain under control and will not have an adverse impact on the country's economy, and in particular on the Company's and its Group's operations and hence its ability to service its debt positions.

In view of this, any investor should carefully consider and take into account both the current levels of inflation risk and the future possibilities of its manifestation.

Currency risk

This risk is related to the possibility of local currency depreciation. For Bulgaria specifically, this is the risk of premature abandonment of the currency board under a fixed exchange rate. On 10 July 2020, the European Central Bank announced that Bulgaria was officially accepted into the ERM II currency mechanism. The central rate of the Bulgarian lev is fixed at 1 euro = 1.95583 leva, It was assumed that Bulgaria joins the ERM with its existing currency board arrangement, as a unilateral commitment and without additional requirements to the ECB.

Any significant depreciation of the Leva could have a material adverse effect on businesses in the country, including the Company. A risk also exists when a business entity's revenues and expenses are generated in different currencies. The exposure of businesses operating in Bulgaria is particularly pronounced against the US dollar, which is the main currency in a significant part of the world markets for raw materials and products.

The Company's operations do not involve exposure to significant currency risk because the current bond issue is denominated in BGN and almost all of its operations and transactions are denominated in BGN and EUR, the latter being at a fixed rate against the BGN.

Changes in various exchange rates did not materially affect the Company's operations until controlling interests were acquired in the countries of Romania, North Macedonia, Ukraine, Georgia, Belarus. The financial results of these companies are presented in the local currencies, respectively, Romanian Leu (RON), Macedonian Denar (MKD), Ukrainian Hryvnia (UAH) and Georgian Lari (GEL), Belarusian Ruble (BYR), whose exchange rate is almost freely determined in the local currency market. Eurohold Bulgaria AD's consolidated earnings will be exposed to currency risk depending on the movement of these currencies against the euro.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is related to the possibility of a change in the prevailing interest rates in the country. Its impact is expressed by the possibility that the net income of companies may decrease due to an increase in the interest rates at which the Issuer finances its operations. Interest rate risk is included in the category of macroeconomic risks due to the fact that the main prerequisite for a change in interest rates is the occurrence of instability in the financial system as a whole. This risk can be managed through the balanced use of different sources of financial resources.

An increase in interest rates would, all other things being equal, affect the cost of the financial resources used by the Company in implementing various business projects. It may also affect the Company's cost base as a significant portion of the Company's liabilities are interest bearing and their servicing is linked to current interest rates.

Risks associated with regulatory changes. Regulatory risk

The Company's results may be impacted by regulatory changes. The Eurohold Group operates in a highly regulated environment in various European countries. The possibility of more radical changes in the regulatory framework, in the interpretation or practice of implementing legislation, and in the divergence of legislation and regulations in Bulgaria and in the countries in which the Company operates, could have an adverse effect on its business as a whole, its operating results, and its financial condition.

Risk of increased competition

All sectors in which the Eurohold Group subsidiaries operate are characterised by a highly competitive environment. The future success of the Group will depend on the ability of Eurohold and its subsidiaries to remain competitive compared to other companies operating in a given market segment.

C. RISK MANAGEMENT AND MINIMISATION MECHANISMS

The elements outlining the framework for the management of individual risks are directly related to specific procedures for the timely prevention and resolution of potential difficulties in the operations of Eurohold Bulgaria AD. They include ongoing analysis in the following areas:

  • market share, pricing policy, market research and market development and market share studies;
  • active investment management in different sectors and industries;
  • a comprehensive asset and liability management policy for the Company and the Group to optimise the structure, quality and return on assets;
  • optimising the structure of funds raised with a view to ensuring liquidity and reducing financial costs across the Group;
  • effective cash flow management at group level;
  • optimising administration, management and external service costs;
  • human resources management

Overall risk management is focused on minimising potential negative effects that could impact the Group's financial performance. Financial risks are identified, measured and monitored on an ongoing basis using various controls to determine appropriate pricing for the services and products offered by Eurohold Group companies and for the borrowed capital raised by them. Adequate assessment is made of market circumstances, the investments made in the Group and the forms in which available liquidity is maintained, without undue concentration of risk.

The occurrence of unforeseen events, incorrect assessment of current trends, as well as a host of other micro- and macroeconomic factors, may affect the judgement of the Company's management team.

2. SUMMARY OF THE GROUP'S ACCOUNTING POLICY

2.1. Basis for Preparation of the Interim Consolidated Financial Statement

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

In preparing these interim consolidated financial statements, the same accounting policies, accounting techniques and calculation methods and basic assumptions have been applied as in the last consolidated annual financial statements for 2021.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ending 31 March 2022 should be read in conjunction with the consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, prepared in accordance with all International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) developed and published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the European Union (IFRS adopted by the EU). For the purposes of paragraph 1 (8) of the Supplementary Provisions of the Accounting Act applicable in Bulgaria, the term "IFRS adopted by the EU" means International Accounting Standards (IAS) adopted in accordance with Regulation (EC) 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and the Council.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the going concern assumption.

Eurohold Bulgaria as a holding company does not carry out regular commercial activity.

ACCOUNTING POLICY

The most significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the principles for measuring the individual types of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, in accordance with IFRS. The measurement bases are disclosed in detail further in the accounting policy to the interim consolidated financial statements.

It should be noted that accounting estimates and assumptions have been used in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Although they are based on information provided to management at the date of preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions made.

2.2. Comparative data

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been presented in accordance with IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements". The Group agreed to present the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in a single statement.

The consolidated statement of financial position presents two comparative periods when the Group:

a) apply accounting policies retrospectively;

b) retrospectively recalculates items in the consolidated financial statements; or

c) reclassifies items in the consolidated financial statements.

and this has a material effect on the information in the consolidated statement of financial position at the beginning of the prior period.

2.3. Consolidation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include an interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position, an interim condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, an interim condensed consolidated cash flow statement and an interim condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity as of 31.3.2022. These statements include the Parent Company and all subsidiaries. A subsidiary is consolidated by the Parent Company by holding, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting shares of the capital or by the ability to manage its financial and operating policies in order to obtain economic benefits from its activities.

The full consolidation method is applied. Reports are aggregated in order, with items such as assets, liabilities, property, income and expense aggregated. All domestic transactions and balances between the companies in the group are eliminated. There is an elimination of opposing elements: capital, financial, commercial, reputation calculation at the date of acquisition.

The non-controlling interest in the net assets of the subsidiaries is determined by the shareholder structure of the subsidiaries at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position.

For business combinations covering enterprises or businesses under common control, the Group has opted to apply the purchase method in accordance with IFRS 3 Business Combinations. The Group has made an accounting policy choice regarding these transactions as they are currently outside the scope of IFRS 3 and do not contain guidance for them in existing IFRSs. According to IAS 8, in the absence of a standard or explanation that is specifically applicable to an operation, other events or conditions, management uses its own judgment to develop and apply accounting policies.

Principles of consolidation

Business combinations are reported as accounting using the purchase method. This method requires the acquirer to recognise separately from goodwill the acquired identifiable assets, liabilities assumed and participation which does not constitute control in the acquiree. Expenses not directly related to the acquisition relate to profit or loss for the period.

The identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed and contingent liabilities in a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date regardless of the extent of the noncontrolling interest. The Group has the ability to measure participations that do not represent control of the acquiree either at fair value or as a pro rata share in the identifiable net assets of the acquiree.

The excess of the acquisition cost over the acquirer's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree is recognized as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is lower than the investor's interest in the fair values of the net assets of the company, the difference is recognized directly in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the period.

Self-recognized goodwill on the acquisition of subsidiaries is tested for impairment at least annually. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Gains or losses on disposal (disposal) of a subsidiary of the Group also includes the carrying amount of the goodwill, the deductible for the (released) company.

Each recognized goodwill is identified as belonging to an object generating cash proceeds when a business combination is realized, and this object is applied when carrying out the impairment tests. In determining the cash-generating entities, the entities that were expected to benefit from future business combinations in the business combination and for which the goodwill itself arose.

Transactions with non-controlling interest

Non-controlling operations are treated by the Group as transactions with entities owning the equity instrument of the Group. The effects of the sale of units of the Parent Company without loss of control to non-controlling interests are not treated as components of the Group's current profit or loss but as movements in the components of its equity. Conversely, in the case of purchases by the Parent Company of non-controlling interests of any non-controlling interests, any difference between the amount paid and the corresponding share of the net book value of the subsidiary's net assets is recognized directly in the consolidated statement of changes in equity, usually to the "unallocated profit / (uncovered loss)" line.

When the Group ceases to have control and significant influence, any remaining minority investment as a share in the capital of the company concerned is remeasured at fair value, the difference to carrying amount being recognized in current profit or loss, respectively all amounts previously recognized in other components of comprehensive income are accounted for, as in the case of a direct exemption operation, of all those associated with the initial investment (in the subsidiary or associate).

2.4. Functional and reporting currency

Transactions in foreign currency are reported in the functional currency of the respective company by the Group at the official exchange rate as of the date of the transaction (announced fixing of the Bulgarian National Bank). Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from the settlement of these transactions and the revaluation of foreign currency positions at the end of the reporting period are recognized in profit or loss.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the transactions (not revalued). Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined.

The functional currency of the individual companies of the Group has not changed during the reporting period.

In the consolidated financial statements, all assets and liabilities are translated into Bulgarian levs at the closing rate as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. Income and expenses are translated into the presentation currency of the Group at the average exchange rate for the reporting period. Foreign exchange differences lead to an increase or decrease in other comprehensive income and are recognized in the allowance for translation into equity. In case of disposal of a net investment in a foreign operation, the accumulated foreign exchange differences from restatements recognized in equity are reclassified to profit or loss and recognized as part of the gain or loss on the sale. Goodwill and adjustments related to the determination of fair values at the acquisition date are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign enterprise and are translated into BGN at the closing rate.

2.5. Accounting assumptions and approximate accounting estimates

The presentation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards requires the Group's management to make the best estimates, accruals and reasonable assumptions that affect the reported values of assets and liabilities, income and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent receivables and payables at the reporting date. These estimates, accruals and assumptions are based on information available at the date of the consolidated interim financial statements, so future actual results could differ (as in a financial crisis, the uncertainties are more significant).

Significant judgments

Deferred tax assets

Tax loss

The assessment of the probability of future taxable income for the use of deferred tax assets is based on the last approved estimate, adjusted for significant non-taxable income and expense, and specific restrictions on the transfer of unused tax losses or loans. If a reliable estimate of taxable income implies the probable use of a deferred tax asset, particularly in cases where the asset can be used without a time limit, the deferred tax asset is recognized as a whole. Recognition of deferred tax assets that are subject to certain legal or economic constraints or uncertainties is judged by the management on a caseby-case basis based on the specific facts and circumstances.

Revenue from contracts with customers

When recognizing revenue under contracts with customers, the management makes various judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported revenue, expense, assets and liabilities under contracts.

2.6. Uncertainty of accounting estimates

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management makes a number of assumptions, estimates and assumptions about the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.

Actual results may differ from management's assumptions, estimates and assumptions and, in rare

cases, are consistent with previously estimated results.

Information about the significant assumptions, estimates and assumptions that have the most significant impact on the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses is presented below.

Evaluation of the pending payment reserve

The Reserve for Outstanding Payments includes RBNS claims as at the date of the consolidated financial statements as well as unrecognized claims (IBNR).

Liabilities on claimed but unpaid claims are individually assessed for each claim based on the best estimate of expected cash outflows for them.

The assessment of the liabilities for the IBNR is based on the assumption that the Group's experience in the development of claims from past years can be used to predict the future development of claims and their ultimate obligations. The development of claims is analyzed by year of the event. Additional qualitative judgment is made to assess the extent to which past trends may not be applicable in the future.

The nature of the business makes it difficult to accurately determine the likely outcome of particular damage and the overall amount of damage sustained. Any damage claimed is individually reviewed due to the circumstances, the information provided by damage experts and the historical data on the amount of such damage. Estimates of damage are reviewed and updated regularly with new information available. Reserves are based on the current available information.

The final amount of liabilities, however, may differ as a result of subsequent events and catastrophic cases. The impact of many circumstances that determine the final cost of settling the damage is difficult to predict. Difficulties in assessing reserves vary from one business class to another, depending on the insurance contracts, the complexity, the volume and the significance of the damage, the date of occurrence of the damage and the delay in making the claim.

The reserve for incurred but unproven damages is calculated based on statistical and actuarial methods. The key method used or a combination of methods depends on the business class and the observed historical level of the loss ratio. The biggest share in this reserve is Motor Third Party Liability (civil liability of a motor vehicle).

The actuarial approach with regards to reserving is in line with commonly accepted actuarial practices and targets a unified approach to assessing the reserve for incurred and not reported claims for Motor Third Party Liability (MTPL) in all companies in the Group. The methodology applies the chain ladder method, which is based on the aggregated amount of paid claims for a period of not less than 3 years. The amount of the provision for claims incurred but not claimed is calculated based on the expected final loss taking into account the expectations for the development of the claims during the respective year of occurrence.

Claims on recourse claims

Claims on recourse claims by insurance companies and other individuals (physically and legally) are recognized as an asset and income when recourse is made to the extent that future economic benefits to the Group are expected. Receivables are reviewed on an individual basis on recognition and subsequently on any impairment indications.

The Group has the practice of settling claims on regressions from insurance companies by offsetting its claims on recourse claims.

Share of reinsurers in technical provisions

The insurance companies of the Group are a party to quota reinsurance contracts that provide for the transfer of a share in the existing technical reserves upon the entry into force of the contract. IFRS does not provide specific reporting requirements for such contracts. Due to the specific nature of this type of contract, the Group has made an analysis of the degree of risk transfer to the reinsurer and the results show that there is such a transfer, contracts meet the objective criteria for reinsurance. For the analysis, a commonly agreed stochastic model was used and the accepted reinsurer risk limit of 1%.

The Group has adopted an accounting policy for accounting for reinsurance contracts that at the date of entry into force of the contract, the Group recognizes the reinsurers share of the technical provisions as an asset and the corresponding change in the reinsurer's share of the technical provisions in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income; other comprehensive income and the liabilities to reinsurers under these contracts are recorded in the subsequent periods of the contracts.

During the effective time of contracts in the subsequent periods, the Group will cede to the reinsurers the respective percentage of its premiums and claims for Motor third party liability insurance. When the reinsurance contracts expire or are terminated the reinsurers' share in the technical reserves will be released or transferred to other reinsurers. The terms of these contracts are indefinite and, by their nature, the contracts are with an indefinite period of validity. Due to the contingencies related to the future development of contracts and the cash flows the Group's management considers that the adopted accounting policy is appropriate.

Inventories - Impairment

At the end of the reporting period, the management reviews the available inventories - materials, commodities to determine whether there are those with a net realizable value below their carrying amount. In determining net realizable value, management takes into account the most reliable information available at the date of the estimate.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment

In accordance with IAS 36, at the end of the reporting period, an estimate is made as to whether there is any indication that the value of an asset in property, plant and equipment is impaired. In the case of such indications, the recoverable amount of the asset is calculated and the impairment loss is determined.

Actuarial assessments

In determining the present value of long-term employee retirement liabilities, calculations of certified actuaries based on mortality assumptions, staff turnover rates, future salary levels, and discount factors have been used, which assumptions have been judged by management to be reasonable and relevant for the Group.

Impairment of goodwill

The Group performs an impairment test of goodwill at least once a year. The recoverable amounts of the units that generate cash are determined based on the value in use or the fair value, net of the cost of the sale. These calculations require the use of estimates.

Impairment of loans and receivables and net investment in finance leases

o Net investment in finance leases

In determining the impairment of finance lease receivables, the Group is based on a three-tier approach that seeks to reflect the deterioration in the credit quality of the financial instrument. At each reporting date after the initial recognition, the Group assesses to what extent the financial asset that is the subject of the impairment test is at which stage. The stage defines the relevant impairment requirements. The Group uses a 5-point credit rating system for each transaction, with the criteria of the system being used to consider both the leased asset, transaction parameters (initial installment, term, residual value) and the financial status of the individual client.

o Cash and cash equivalents

The Group categorizes the banks in which it holds cash on the basis of their rating agencies (Moody's, Fitch, S & P, BCRA) and, depending on it, apply a different percentage for the expected credit losses for 12 months.

o Loans receivables

The Group has loan receivables that are categorized depending on whether the borrower has a rating, and whether or not the receivables from such loans are overdue.

o Litigation and claims

The Group's court and assignment receivables are categorized in Group 3, respectively as such, they are individually reviewed by the management and each such receivable is assigned an individual impairment.

Fair value of financial instruments

The management uses techniques to measure the fair value of financial instruments in the absence of quoted prices in an active market. Details of the assumptions used are presented in the notes on financial assets and liabilities. In applying valuation techniques, management uses the market data and assumptions that market participants would use when evaluating a financial instrument. When no applicable market data is available, management uses its best estimate of the assumptions that market participants would make. These estimates may differ from the actual prices that would have been determined in a fair market transaction between informed and willing parties at the end of the reporting period.

2.7. Revenue

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when the control of the goods or services is transferred to the client in an amount that reflects the remuneration the Group expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

The Group recognizes revenue when (or is) satisfied the obligation to perform, under the terms of the contract, by transferring the promised product or service to the client. An asset (product or service) is transferred when (or as) a customer has control over that asset.

Clients' contracts typically include a single performance obligation:

  • o Sales of cars (spare parts);
  • o Car Services.

Sales are made under contracts with clients. Sales contracts with customers meet the criteria set out in IFRS 15. Typically, the Group expects to collect the remuneration for contracts with clients.

The following table provides information on the Group's accounting policy for recognition of revenue and time to satisfy obligations for the execution of contracts with clients under IFRS 15 and IAS 18.

Type of
product /
service
Nature and timing of the fulfillment of
performance obligations, including
essential payment arrangements
Recognition of income under IFRS 15
Car sales Performance obligations satisfied at a
certain point.
Customers receive control when:
1 / the client has a legal right of
ownership;
2 / The Group has transferred the physical
possession of the asset;
3 / the client carries significant risks and
benefits from the asset;
4 / The Group has an existing payment
entitlement.
The asset is derecognised at the time the
control is transferred to the sold asset.
Invoices are payable within 30-40 days.
Revenue from the sale of vehicles is
recognized by the liability method at a
specified time, in accordance with IFRS
15, when the control of the vehicle is
transferred to the customer. This is
usually done by passing the vehicles and
the physical knowledge of them to the
customer and the buyer has accepted the
goods in accordance with the sales
contract.
The transaction price can be defined as a
market price, reduced by discounts (net of
taxes), which may include fixed
remuneration and variable remuneration.
The allocation of the transaction price to
the performance obligations is based on
unit sales prices (market).

Revenue
from sales of

accessories)
Delivery occurs when the assets have
been shipped to the customer, the risks of
potential losses have been passed on to
the buyer and / or he has taken the assets
in accordance with the sales contract. The
usual payment term is up to 30 days after
delivery.
Revenues from sales of short-term assets
are recognized when the control of the
assets sold is transferred. Delivery occurs
when the assets have been shipped to the
client, the risks of potential losses are
passed on to the buyer and either he has
accepted the assets in accordance with
the sale contract.
Revenue
from services
The control is transferred when the
service is performed. Receipt is due
immediately.
Revenue from services is recognized using
the liability method over time. If, at the
end of the reporting period, the service
contract is not fully realized, revenue is
recognized on the basis of the actual
service provided by the end of the
reporting period as a proportion of the
total services to be provided as the client
receives and consumes the benefits
simultaneously. This is determined on the
basis of actual time spent or reported time
for work, in relation to the total expected
time of service.
Extended
warranties
Separate obligation to implement. They
are deferred if the Group is the principal of
the extended guarantees.
It is analyzed whether the Group is a
principal or an agent.
The Group has found that, when selling
extended warranties, the Group
companies providing extended guarantees
have the role of agent and the way of
reporting extended guarantees changed.
The Group considers that all sales of
extended warranties and repairs should be
accounted for at the expense of the
manufacturer or the insurance company
Car-Guarantee Vesrsiherung AG
(whichever is the principal).

IFRS 15 does not have a material effect on the Group's accounting policies with respect to the other types of income it recognizes.

The transaction price is the amount of consideration the Group expects to be entitled to in exchange for the customer's transfer of the promised goods or services, except for amounts collected on behalf of third parties (eg value added tax). The consideration promised in the contract with the client may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both.

The Group examines whether there are other promises in client contracts that are separate performance obligations for which part of the transaction price should be allocated.

When determining the transaction price, the account is taken of the impact of variable remuneration, including price discounts, the existence of significant components of funding, non-monetary remuneration and remuneration payable to the client (if any).

In the contracts of the Group companies, there are discounts that the client receives at the sale and which are reported as a reduction of the total price. In accordance with the requirement of IFRS 15, all discounts are reported as a reduction in sales revenue, at the same time as recognizing the sale proceeds of the goods for which the respective discounts are due. The policy of recognition of due price discounts applied so far does not differ from the requirements of IFRS 15.

The Group has reviewed its accounting policies and has assessed the areas in which there are changes from the application of IFRS 15.

o Free goods

For a large number of contracts, the Group provides free of charge to its customers free of charge (in the form of accessories, tires, alarms, etc.).

The provision of additional goods (in the form of an alarm, tires or accessories) is a separate obligation to perform.

In accordance with IFRS 15, the Group recognizes these free goods as variable remuneration, thereby reducing the fixed price of the products on the price list if they are provided additionally and free of charge.

o Sales with redemption capability

Revenue is recognized when the vehicle is sold, but the estimate of the redemption option is deducted from revenue and recognized as deferred income, as well as a liability to the customer for redemption. Similarly, the estimate of the value of the vehicle to be returned is reduced by the cost of the sale and is also deferred.

The Group has determined that there are no contractual obligations during the period in connection with the repurchase option.

Approach for recognizing major types of revenue under customer contracts

Sales revenue is realized by the following:

  • o car sales;
  • o car leasing;
  • o services, repair services;
  • o sales of spare parts.

Car sales revenue

Revenue from the sale of vehicles is recognized by the method of meeting the obligations at a specific time in accordance with IFRS 15 when the control of the good is transferred to the customer.

This is usually the case with the passing of the cars and the physical knowledge to them by the customer and the buyer has accepted the goods in accordance with the sales contract.

For most contracts, there is a fixed unit price for each contract, taking into account the discounts provided to the client. The group is able to determine the distribution of the total contract price (delivery, order) for each site based on the scope of the goods / services under the contract that forms the performance obligations.

The distribution of the transaction price to the performance obligations is based on unit sales prices (contractual or market).

Services revenue

Services revenue are recognized in the period in which the services are provided. The group transfers control over the service over time and therefore satisfies the obligation to execute and recognizes revenue over time. If by the end of the reporting period, the service contract has not been fully implemented, revenue is recognized using the inputs method based on actual time spent on work, over the total expected service delivery time.

In cases where the services provided by the Group exceed the payment, an asset is recognized under the contract. If payments exceed the services provided, a liability under a contract is recognized.

Revenue from sales of current assets

Revenues from sales of short-term assets and material are recognized when the control of the assets sold is transferred. Delivery occurs when the assets have been shipped to the customer, the risks of potential losses are transferred to the buyer and/or he has accepted the assets in accordance with the sale contract.

Principal or agent

The Group is the principal when controlling the promised product or service before transferring it to the customer. The Group is an agent if the Group's obligation to perform is to arrange the delivery of the goods or services from a third party.

The signs that it is the principal includes:

  • o The Group has the primary responsibility for implementing the promise to provide a particular good or service;
  • o There is a risk to the Group's inventory before the specific good or service is transferred to the customer or after the transfer of the client's control;
  • o The Group has discretion in determining the price of the particular good or service.

The Group is the principal in the following transactions:

  • o Sales of cars;
  • o Sales of spare parts;
  • o Additional Services;
  • o Sales of oils.

The Group is an agent for the following transactions:

  • o Sales of extended guarantees;
  • o Sale of fuel with cards;
  • o Extended warranty repair services.

The Group has established that it is an agent in the sale of extended warranties and in the sale of fuels through cards. The Group accepts that all repairs carried out should be accounted for at the expense of the manufacturer/insurer party to the contracts for these guarantees.

Extended warranties

In the case of car sales, an extended warranty can be purchased, which can be purchased separately.

The extended guarantees are a separate performance obligation, which should be deferred if the Group is the principal. If the extended guarantees are issued by the manufacturer, the Group is an agent and should account for the revenue from these sales as an agent on a net basis. The group has found to be an agent and has changed its way of reporting on extended guarantees.

Other revenues/income

Other income includes operations that are incidental to the Group's core activities and are income or income that are recognized under other standards and are outside the scope of IFRS 15.

The following table provides information about the material conditions and related policies for recognizing other earnings.

intended to offset.

Interest income

Interest income is accounted for using the effective interest method, which is the percentage that accurately discounts the expected future cash payments for the expected term of the financial instrument or for a shorter period, where appropriate, to the carrying amount of the financial asset. Interest income is included in the financial income in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Dividend income shall be recognized when the right to receive them is established. In the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the dividends declared for the financial year by the subsidiaries are recognized as internal estimates and eliminated and therefore do not participate in the formation of the financial result.

The financial revenue generated by Eurohold Group generated stems from:

  • o investment operations;
  • o positive differences from operations with financial instruments and currency exchange operations;
  • o fee and commission income;
  • o dividends;
  • o interest on loans granted.

2.8. Expenses

Expenses in the Group are recognized at the time they are incurred and based on the principles of accrual and comparability.

Administrative expenses are recognized as expenses incurred during the year that are related to the management and administration of the Group companies, including expenses related to administrative staff, management staff, office and other external services.

Financial costs include: costs arising from investment operations, negative financial operations and currency exchange rate differences, interest expense on bank and commercial loans and debt securities, and charges for fees and commissions.

Prepayments (deferred expenses) are deferred for recognition as current expense over the period in which the contracts to which they relate are met.

Other operating income and expenses include items of a minor nature in respect of the core business of the Group companies.

2.9. Interests

Interest income and expense are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate is the one that accurately discounts the expected future cash payments and proceeds over the life of the financial asset or liability to the carrying amount of the asset or liability. The effective interest rate is determined at the initial recognition of the financial asset or liability and is not subsequently adjusted.

The calculation of the effective interest rate includes all commissions received or paid, transaction costs, as well as discounts or premiums that are an integral part of the effective interest rate.

Transaction costs are intrinsic costs directly attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of a financial asset or liability.

Interest income and expense presented in the interim consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income includes: Interest recognized on an effective interest rate basis on financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost.

Unprofitable financial income (interest) represents the difference between the gross and net investment in the lease, the gross investment in the lease being the amount of the minimum lease payments and the unguaranteed residual value accrued to the lessor. Interest income from lease transactions (financial income) is allocated over the term of the lease and is recognized on a constant periodic rate of return on the lessor's net investment.

2.10. Fees and commissions

Fees and commissions income and expense that are an integral part of the effective interest rate for a financial asset or liability are included in the calculation of the effective interest rate.

Other fee and commission income, including fees for logistics services, insurance and other intermediation, are recognized through the performance of the related services.

Other charges for fees and commissions related mainly to banking services are recognized on receipt of the related services.

2.11 Segment reporting

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in revenue-generating activities and costs, including income and expense, that relate to transactions with each other of the Group's other components.

For management purposes, the Group is organized into business units based on the products and services they provide and includes the following reportable segments:

Insurance:

o Insurance Services

Energy:

  • o Sales of electricity;
  • o Electricity transmission;
  • o Electricity generation;
  • o Information, communication, technological and other services.

Financial services:

  • o Lease services
  • o Investment intermediation

Car sales:

  • o Sale of new cars
  • o Auto services
  • o Car rental services

2.11.1. Insurance business

Recognition and measurement of insurance contracts

Non-life insurance premiums

Non-life insurance premiums are booked on an annual basis.

Gross gross premiums written for non-life insurance are the premiums under the direct insurance or coinsurance contracts that were concluded during the year, although the premiums may be wholly or partly related to a later accounting period. Premiums are reported gross of commissions paid by intermediaries. The portion of the insurance premiums written, including unexpired insurance contracts, is recognized as income. Subscribed insurance premiums are recognized at the date of the insurance contract. Premiums paid to reinsurers are recognized as an expense in accordance with reinsurance services received.

Health insurance premiums

Subscribed health insurance premiums are recognized as income on the basis of the annual premium payable by insured persons for the premium period beginning in the financial year or the one-time premium payable for the entire coverage period for annual health insurance contracts concluded during the financial year.

Gross written health insurance premiums are not recognized when future cash receipts are not certain. The recorded health insurance premiums are shown gross of commissions due to agents.

Life insurance premiums

Subscribed life insurance premiums are recognized as income on the basis of the annual premium payable by the insured persons for the premium period commencing in the financial year or the one-time premium payable over the entire policy coverage period concluded during the financial year.

Gross written premiums are not recognized when future cash receipts are uncertain. Subscribed premiums are shown gross of commissions due to agents.

Insurance reserves

Insurers maintain different types of insurance reserves with which they serve their obligations to customers and cover the costs associated with the benefits paid. Since premiums are paid in advance and insurance protection covers the entire duration of the insurance, reserves are created. On this way

the insurer has sufficient funds to recover the damages incurred during the insurance. There are 2 main groups of reserves – general and technical.

The total reserves are those that insurers must form within the meaning of the Commercial Act.

The technical provisions group shall include:

  • o unearned premium reserve;
  • o reserve for upcoming payments includes a reserve for claims arising but not claimed and a reserve for claims made but outstanding;
  • o reserve for unexped claims;
  • o other reserves including mathematical reserve.

The unearned premium reserve

The unearned premium reserve consists of the portion of gross written insurance / health insurance premiums that is calculated to be earned in the next or further financial periods.

The unearned premium reserve includes accrued and recognized insurance premiums during the reporting period less the premiums written to reinsurers that are to be recognized in the next financial year or subsequent financial periods.

The reserve is calculated separately for each insurance / health insurance contract using a proportional daily basis method. The unearned premium reserve is calculated as net of commission to intermediaries, advertising and other acquisition costs.

Reserve for upcoming payments

The reserve for upcoming payments shall be formed to cover compensation and the related costs of incurred damages which have not been paid on the same date, whether or not they have been announced by the insurer. Includes:

  • o reserve for claims arising but not claimed;
  • o reserve for claims made but outstanding.

Their amount shall be determined by a responsible actuary authorised by the Financial Supervision Commission on the basis of statistical methods based on historical data for a sufficiently long period to cover the full cycle of their development. The valuation is individual for each claim based on the expected amount of future payments.

Reserve for unexpired risks

The reserve is formed to cover risks for the time between the end of the reporting period and the expiry date of the relevant insurance / health insurance contract in order to cover the payments and expenses expected to exceed the prepaid reserve.

Other technical reserves - including reserves outside the above groups - such as mathematical reserve - are formed to meet future long-term insurance payments.

Compensations arising from general insurance and health insurance and pending damages

Compensations incurred in respect of non-life insurance and health insurance include benefits and processing costs payable during the financial year together with the amendment to the pending loss reserve.

In the opinion of management, the gross prudential reserve and the relevant share of the reinsurers' reserves are fairly presented on the basis of the information available to them at the date of the consolidated financial statements, the final obligation will change as a result of subsequent information and events and may require material adjustment of the amount initially charged. Corrections to the pending loss reserve established in previous years are recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the period in which the adjustments are made and disclosed separately if they are material. The methods to be used and the estimates to be made when calculating the reserve are reviewed on a regular basis.

Reinsurance

In its normal course of business, the insurance companies in the Group assign a risk to reinsurers in order to reduce their potential net losses through risk diversification.

Reinsurance does not cancel the direct liability of the company concerned to the insured.

Reinsurance assets include the balances due from reinsurance companies for ceded insurance liabilities. Recovery values from reinsurers are valued in a similar way as for outstanding claims reserves or terminated claims related to reinsured policies.

Premiums and losses relating to these reinsurance contracts are treated as income and expense in the same way as would be considered if reinsurance was a direct business, taking into account the classification of reinsurance business products.

Coupled (or accepted) premiums and reimbursed benefits (or paid damages) are reported in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and the consolidated statement of financial position as gross amounts.

Contracts where substantial insurance risk is transferred are accounted for as insurance contracts. Recoverable amounts are recognized in the same year as the corresponding loss.

Premiums on long-term reinsurance contracts are accounted for in parallel with the period of validity of related insurance policies, using similar assumptions as those for accounting for the relevant policies.

The recoverable amount of receivables under reinsurance contracts is reviewed for impairment at each date of the consolidated statement of financial position. Such assets are valued if objective evidence exists as a result of an event occurring after its initial recognition.

Deferred acquisition costs

Deferred acquisition costs represent the amount of the acquisition cost deducted in the calculation of the carry-over provision reserve. They are defined as the portion of the acquisition cost under the end-ofperiod contracts as a percentage of the insurance technical plan and relating to the time between the end of the reporting period and the expiry date of the insurance / health insurance contract. Current acquisition costs are recognized as an expense during the reporting period.

Acquisition costs

Costs of commissions include accrued commissions to intermediaries, costs of participating in the result that are charged to the insured / health insured persons at a low loss rate. Indirect acquisition costs include advertising costs and costs arising from the conclusion or renewal of insurance / health insurance contracts.

2.11.2. Leasing activity

Leasing activity – The Group as lessor

The lessor classifies each of its leases as an operating or finance lease. Lessors classify leases according to the extent to which the risks and rewards of ownership of the underlying asset are transferred under the lease.

A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the underlying asset, and as an operating lease if it does not substantially transfer all the risks and rewards of ownership of the underlying asset. assets. Risks include potential losses from unused capacity or technological aging, as well as from fluctuations in returns due to changing economic conditions. The benefits can be represented by the expected profitable exploitation over the economic life of the underlying asset and the expected profit from the increase in value or realization of the residual value.

Whether a lease is a finance lease or an operating lease depends on the nature of the transaction, not the form of the lease.

The classification of the lease agreement is made on the date of entry and is revised Changes in valuations or changes in circumstances do not warrant a new classification of the lease for accounting purposes.

2.11.2.1 Financial leasing

Recognition and assessment

At the commencement date, the lessor recognizes the assets held under a finance lease in its statement of financial position and presents them as a claim equal to the net investment in the lease. The net investment in the lease is the sum of the following items, discounted by the interest rate set in the lease:

  • a) lease payments received from the lessor under a finance lease; and
  • b) any unsecured residual value accrued to the lessor.

The initial direct costs, other than those incurred by the lessor, are included in the initial estimate of the net investment in the lease and reduce the amount of recognised income over the the entire term of the lease agreement.

The commencement of the lease agreement is the date from which the lessee may exercise the right to use the leased asset. This is also the date on which the Group initially recognises the claim on the lease.

The underlying asset is derecognised and any difference is recognised immediately in the statement of comprehensive income as a gain/loss on the sale of the asset.

Subsequent valuation

The lessor reduces the net investment in the lease for payments received. It deducts lease payments during the reporting period from the gross investment in the lease to reduce both principal and unrealized finance income. Variable lease payments that are not included in the measurement of the net investment in the lease are recognised in the income statement and other comprehensive income when received.

Derecognition and impairment

The lessor applies the derecognition and impairment requirements in IFRS 9 to the net investment in the lease.

Amendments to the lease agreement

The lessor shall report the amendment to a finance lease as a separate lease if:

a) the amendment increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more underlying assets; and

b) the remuneration under the leasing contract is increased by an amount commensurate with the independent price for the increase in the scope and possible adjustments of this price to reflect the circumstances of the specific contract.

An amendment to a finance lease that is not accounted for as a separate lease is accounted for by the lessor as follows:

a) for a contract that would have been classified as an operating lease if the amendment was effective on the date of introduction, the lessor:

i) accounts for the amendment to the lease as a new lease from the effective date of the amendment; and

ii) measures the carrying amount of the underlying asset as the net investment in the lease immediately before the effective date of the amendment to the lease;

b) Otherwise, the lessee applies the requirements of IFRS 9.

Receivables on financial lease

The leasing activity of the Group involves rent of vehicles, industrial equipment, real estate and others, mainly on finance lease agreements.

The finance lease agreement is an agreement under which the lessor gives to the lessee the right of use of a particular asset for an agreed term against reward. Lease agreement is recorded as finance when the contract transfers to the lessee all substantial risks and benefits associated with the ownership of the asset.

Typical indicators considered by the Group for determining if all significant risks and benefits have been transferred include: the present value of minimal lease payments compared to the fair value of the leased asset at the beginning of the leasing agreement; the term of the leasing agreement in comparison with the economic life of the leased asset; as well as whether the lessee will acquire the right of ownership over the leased asset at the end of the financial lease agreement. All other leasing agreements, which do not transfer substantially all risks and benefits of ownership of the asset, are classified as operating leases.

Minimum Lease Payments

Minimum lease payments are the payments that the lessee will or may be required to make during the term of the leasing contract. From the Group's point of view, minimum lease payments also include the residual value of the asset guaranteed by a third party, not related to the Group, provided that such party is financially able to fulfill its commitments to the guarantee or to the contract for redemption. In the minimum lease payments, the Group also includes the cost of exercising possible option, which the lessee has for the purchase of the asset, and at the beginning of the lease agreement it is to a large extent certain that the option will be exercised. Minimum lease payments do not include conditional rents, as well as costs of services and taxes to be paid by the Group and subsequently re-invoiced to the lessee.

Beginning of the lease agreement and beginning of the term of the lease agreement

A distinction is made between the beginning of the lease agreement and the beginning of the term of the lease agreement. Beginning of the lease agreement is the earlier of the two dates – of the lease agreement or of the commitment of the parties to the main conditions of the lease agreement.

As at this date: the lease agreement is classified as a financial lease agreement or an operating lease agreement; and in the case of finance lease the amounts to be recognised at the beginning of the term of the lease agreement are determined. The commencement of the lease agreement is the date from which the lessee may exercise the right to use the leased asset. This is also the date on which the Group initially recognises the claim on the lease.

Initial and Subsequent Evaluation

Initially, the Group recognizes a receivable on financial lease equal to its net investment, including present value of minimal lease payments and each residual value of the Group that is not secured. The current value is calculated by discounting minimum lease payments due by the inherent to the lease agreement interest rate. Initial direct costs are included in the calculation of the claim under financial lease. During the term of the lease agreement the Group accrues financial income (income from interest on financial lease) on the net investment. Received lease payments are treated as a reduction of net investment (repayment of principal) and recognition of financial income in a manner to ensure a constant rate of return on the net investment. Consequently, the net investment in finance lease agreements is presented net, after deduction of individual and portfolio provisions for uncollectability.

2.11.2.2. Operating leasing

Recognition and assessment

The lessor recognizes lease payments under operating leases as revenue on a straight-line basis or on a systematic basis. The lessor applies another systematic basis where that basis more accurately reflects the way in which the benefit of using the underlying asset is diminished.

The lessor adds the initial direct costs incurred in obtaining an operating lease to the carrying amount of the underlying asset and recognizes it as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income. The underlying asset subject to operating leases is amortized with the lessor's usual amortization policy for such assets. The depreciation of such an asset is recognised as an expense on the lease term on the same basis as the lease income.

Amendments to the lease agreement

The lessor considers the change in an operating lease as a new lease from the effective date of the amendment, taking into account any advance payments or accrued leases related to the original lease as part of the lease payments for the new lease.

Presentation

The lessor presents in its statement of financial position the underlying assets subject to operating leases in accordance with their nature.

Impairment losses on financial leasing receivables

Finance lease receivables presented in the balance sheet as a net investment in finance leases are reviewed for impairment based on the Company's policy. The amounts for impairment losses on lease receivables that the Company allocates for specific exposures are calculated based on the most reliable estimate of the Management for the present value of the expected cash flows. In estimating these cash flows, management makes assumptions about the debtor's financial condition and the net realizable value of available collateral. Each impaired financial asset is considered for its content, after which the Management of the Company approves the assessment of the collection of cash flows from the financial asset.

2.11.3. Financial intermediation activity

Financial Intermediation is related to transactions with financial instruments. They are classified as financial assets as part of an investment portfolio or as part of a trading portfolio.

Financial assets are initially measured at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and trade receivables that do not have a significant financial component. The initial measurement of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is not adjusted for transaction costs that are reported as current expenses.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets for which a business model "held for contractual cash flows" or a business model "held for collection and sale" is not applicable, as well as financial assets whose contractual cash flows are not only principal and interest payments are reported at fair value through profit or loss. All derivative financial instruments are reported in this category except for those that are designated and effective as hedging instruments and for which hedge accounting requirements apply.

Changes in the fair value of assets in this category are reflected in profit or loss. The fair value of financial assets in this category is determined using either quoted market prices or using valuation techniques in the absence of an active market.This category classifies the securities from the trading portfolio and the equity instruments of the investment portfolio of the firm.

According to the Risk Management Rules of the investment intermediary, subsequent valuation of financial instruments from the trading book is made on a daily basis, at easily accessible closing prices from an independent source such as stock prices or prices from market information systems, quotes from independent brokers with good reputation. In the market valuation, the more conservative of the Buy and Sell rates is used unless the investment intermediary is significant to the market participant for the respective financial instrument and can close its position at an average market price.

When market valuation is not possible, the company uses a model to evaluate its positions and portfolios.

A subsequent valuation of its assets in the trading book under the following procedures:

/1/ For Bulgarian and foreign shares and rights admitted to trading on a regulated securities market in the Republic of Bulgaria as well as Bulgarian shares and rights admitted for trading on a regulated market in Member States:

a/ at the last price of a transaction concluded with them, announced in the stock exchange bulletin, if the volume of the transactions concluded with them for the day is not less than 0.02 per cent of the volume of the respective issue or reaches the estimated volume.

b/ if a price can not be determined under (a) - the arithmetic mean of the highest bid price or short selling respectively of the orders that are valid at the time of closing the regulated market on the estimated day , and the last price of a transaction concluded with the relevant securities for the same day.

c/ in the event that for the valuation day there are no deals with securities of the respective issue, the average of the highest bid or short selling offer respectively, valid at the moment of closing the regulated market for the assessed day, and the weighted average price of the last prices of the transactions concluded with the relevant securities and the traded volumes within the last 30-day period.

d/ If it is not possible to apply the valuation methods in a-c as well as for the non-traded shares, the post evaluation shall be based on the net book value of the assets.

/2/ For units of collective investment undertakings not traded on a regulated market, including in cases of temporary suspension of redemption:

a/ at the last announced redemption price.

b/ at the last designated and announced issue value per unit, less the amount of the unit-redemption and redemption costs provided for under the fund rules, in cases where the collective investment scheme has not reached the minimum amount of the net asset value.

/3/ for derivative financial instruments - in the order indicated in /1/, and in case of impossibility to apply this method of valuation - by an appropriate model for valuation of derivative financial instruments.

/4/ for Bulgarian and foreign bonds, as well as government securities issued pursuant to BNB Ordinance No. 5 - by the method of discounted future net cash flows with a discount factor consisting of a risk-free rate and a risk premium.

/5/ for foreign securities admitted for trading on internationally recognized and liquid regulated securities markets abroad:

a/ at the last price of a transaction concluded with them on the relevant market on the day of valuation;

b/ if it is not possible to apply the valuation method under "a", the valuation shall be made at the "buy" or "sell" price, upon closing of the market on the day of the valuation announced in the electronic securities price information system;

c/ if it is impossible to apply the assessment method under letter b) the valuation shall be made at the last price of a transaction concluded with them within the last 30-day period;

/6/ In cases where there is no trading on a regulated market in working days for the country, the valuation valid for the day of the last trading session shall be accepted. In the subsequent assessment of bonds under the first sentence, the accrued interest for the respective days shall also be reported.

Price sources are regulated securities markets - the Bulgarian Stock Exchange and foreign regulated markets where the relevant securities are traded.

Quotation sources can be recognized by world news agencies such as REUTERS, BLOOMBERG, and so on.

Derivatives

Derivatives are off-balance sheet financial instruments the value of which is determined on the basis of interest rates, exchange rates or other market prices. Derivatives are an effective tool for managing market risk and limiting exposure to a counterparty.

The most commonly used derivatives are:

  • o foreign exchange swap;
  • o interest rate swap;
  • o forward foreign exchange and interest rate contracts;
  • o futures;
  • o options.

All derivative financial instruments used for hedging are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position.

For derivatives, the same procedures for controlling market and credit risk apply as for other financial instruments. They aggregate with other exposures to monitor the total exposure to a counterparty and are managed within the limits approved for the counterparty.

Derivatives are held for trading purposes as well as hedging instruments used to manage interest rate and currency risk. Derivatives held for trading are measured at fair value and gains and losses are reported in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as a result of trading transactions.

2.12. Taxes

Income tax

Current tax comprises the amount of tax to be paid on the expected taxable profit for the period based on the effective tax rate applicable at the date of preparation of the consolidated statement of financial position and any adjustments to past tax payable.

Current taxes on profits of Bulgarian companies in the Group are determined in accordance with the requirements of Bulgarian tax legislation - the Corporate Income Tax Act. The nominal tax rate for Bulgaria in 2021 is 10% (2020: 10%).

Subsidiaries abroad are taxed according to the requirements of the relevant tax laws by country at the following tax rates:

Country Tax rate
2022 2021
Romania 16% 16%
North Macedonia 10% 10%
Ukraine 18% 18%
Georgia 15% 15%
Greece 22% 22%
Belarus 18% 18%

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is calculated by applying the balance sheet method to all temporary differences between the carrying amount of the financial statements and the amounts for tax purposes.

Deferred tax is calculated on the basis of the tax rate that is expected to be incurred when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. The effect on deferred tax on change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income except when it relates to amounts previously accrued or accounted for directly in equity.

A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future profits will be available against which unused tax losses or tax credit can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reduced in line with the decrease in probability of tax benefits.

The deferred taxes on the profits of the Group companies are assessed at a rate valid for 2022, which for the Bulgarian companies is 10% and for the subsidiaries abroad is as follows:

Country Tax rate for 2022
Romania 16%
North Macedonia 10%
Ukraine 18%
Georgia 15%
Greece 22%
Belarus 18%

2.13. Non-current assets

2.13.1. Property, plant and equipment, rights of use

2.13.1.1. Property, plant and equipment

Fixed tangible assets are measured at cost less the amount of accrued amortization and any impairment losses.

The Group has set a materiality threshold of BGN 700 below which the assets acquired, despite having a characteristic of a fixed asset, are reported as current expense at the time they are acquired.

Initial acquisition

Initial valuation of tangible fixed assets is carried out:

At acquisition cost, which includes: the purchase price (including customs duties and non-recoverable taxes), all direct costs of bringing an asset into working condition in accordance with its intended purpose - for assets acquired from external sources;

At fair value: for those received as a result of a free transaction;

Under assessment: accepted by the court, and all direct costs of bringing an asset into working condition in accordance with its purpose - for assets received as an in-kind contribution.

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are included in the acquisition cost (cost) of that asset. All other borrowing costs are reported as current in profit or loss for the period.

Subsequent assessment

The Group's approach to subsequent balance sheet valuation of property, plant and equipment is the cost model under IAS 16, the historical cost of acquisition, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Subsequent costs

Subsequent repair and maintenance costs are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income at the time they are performed unless there is clear evidence that their performance will result in increased economic benefits from the use of the asset. Then these costs are capitalized at the asset's carrying amount.

Gains and losses on sale

In the case of a sale of tangible fixed assets, the difference between the carrying amount and the sale price of the asset is recognized as a gain or loss in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.Write-off of tangible fixed assets on the balance sheet is at the time of sale or when the asset is definitively disposed of and after the write-off is not expected to have any other economic benefits.

2.13.1.2. Rights of use

The Group presents the right of use assets in a line item with similar own assets, but provides detailed information on own and leased assets in the notes to the financial statements.

2.13.2. Goodwill

Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and recognized separately. For the purposes of the impairment test, goodwill is allocated to each cash-generating unit of the Group (or group of cashgenerating units) that is expected to benefit from the business combination, whether or not other assets or liabilities of the acquired company is allocated to these units. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

When a cash-generating unit is written off, the relevant portion of goodwill is included in determining the gain or loss on write-off.

2.13.3. Intangible assets

Intangible assets are stated at cost, including all duties paid, non-refundable taxes and direct costs incurred in preparing the asset for use.

Subsequent measurement is performed at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Subsequent expenditures in respect of other intangible assets after their initial recognition are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which they are incurred unless due to them the asset can generate more than originally intended future economic benefits and these expenditures can be reliably measured and assigned to the asset. If these conditions are met, the amount of the expenditures made is added to the cost of the asset.

A materiality threshold of BGN 700 is applied, below which the acquired assets, despite having the characteristics of a fixed asset, are reported as a current expense at the time of their acquisition.

The carrying amount of intangible assets is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not exceed their recoverable amount.

The gain or loss on disposal of the the intangible asset is determined as the difference between the disposal proceeds, and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in line "Other operating income / costs", net.

2.13.4. Depreciation methods

The Group applies a straight-line depreciation method. Depreciation of assets begins in the month following the month of acquisition. The land and assets under construction are not depreciated. Useful life by group of assets is consistent with: physical wear and tear, specifics of the equipment, future intentions for use, and the assumed obsolescence.

The defined useful life by group of assets is as follows:

Asset group Useful life in years
Buildings 25-50
Machinery and equipment 2-25
Vehicles 2-6
Business inventory 3-25
Computers 2-5
Software 2
Intangible assets 5-7
Rights of use over the shorter of the asset's life and
the lease term on a straight-line basis

2.14. Investment property

The Group accounts for investment property held for rental income and / or for capital increases using the fair value model.

Investment property is initially measured at cost, including the purchase price and any costs that are directly attributable to the investment property, such as legal fees, property transfer taxes and other transaction costs.

Investment properties are revalued on an annual basis and are included in the consolidated statement of financial position at their market values. They are determined by independent appraisers with professional qualifications and significant professional experience depending on the nature and location of the investment properties, based on evidence of market conditions.

Any gain or loss on a change in the fair value or sale of an investment property is recognized immediately in profit or loss and presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

2.15. Impairment tests on goodwill, other intangible assets and property, plant and equipment

In calculating the amount of impairment, the Group defines the smallest identifiable group of assets for which separate cash flows (unit generating cash flows) can be determined. As a result, some of the assets are subject to an impairment test on an individual basis and others on a cash-generating unit basis. Goodwill refers to the cash-generating units that are likely to benefit from the business combination and which represent the lowest level in the Group at which management monitors goodwill.

Cash-generating units to which goodwill is attributed are tested for impairment at least annually. All other separate assets or cash-generating units are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount can not be restored.

An impairment loss is the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. To determine the value in use, the Group's management calculates the expected future cash flows for each cash-generating unit and determines the appropriate discount factor in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The data used in the impairment testing are based on the last approved budget of the Group, adjusted if necessary to eliminate the effect of future reorganizations and significant asset improvements. The discount factors are determined for each individual cash-generating unit and reflect their respective risk profile, assessed by the Group's management.

Impairment losses on a cash-generating unit are allocated to the reduction of the carrying amount first of the goodwill attributable to that unit and then to the other assets of the unit in proportion to their carrying amount. With the exception of goodwill for all of the Group's assets, management subsequently assesses whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognized in prior years may no longer exist or be reduced. An impairment loss recognized in a prior period is reversed if the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit exceeds its carrying amount.

2.16. Pension and other payables to employees and social legislation staff

The employment and social security relations with the employees of the Group are based on the provisions of the Labor Code and the provisions of the current insurance legislation for the companies operating in Bulgaria, the Romanian Code - for the companies in Romania, the labor legislation for the companies in Ukraine , of labor law for companies in Northern Macedonia.

Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities for short-term employee benefits are measured on an undiscounted basis and are recognized as an expense when the related service is provided. Liabilities are recognized for the amount expected to be paid on a short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plan if the Group has a legal or constructive obligation to pay that amount as a result of past service provided by an employee and the liability may be evaluate reliably.

The Group recognizes as an obligation the undiscounted amount of estimated expense paid annual leave expected to be paid to employees in exchange for their work for the past reporting period.

Defined contribution plans

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Group's net liability for defined benefit plans is calculated by forecasting the amount of future benefits that employees have earned in return for their services in the current and prior periods, and this income is discounted to determine its present value.

A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which the Group pays contributions to another person and has no legal or constructive obligation to pay additional amounts thereafter. The Government of Bulgaria is responsible for providing pensions under defined contribution plans.

Expenses on the Group's commitment to pay installments under defined contribution plans are recognized in profit or loss on an ongoing basis.

Termination benefits

Termination benefits are recognized as an expense when the Group has committed itself clearly, without any real possibility of withdrawal, with a formal detailed plan either to terminate a business relationship before the normal retirement date or to provide termination benefits as a result of a proposal, made to encourage voluntary departure.

Termination benefits for voluntary departure are recognized as an expense if the Group has made a formal offer for voluntary termination, and it is probable that the offer will be accepted and the number of acceptances can be estimated reliably. If benefits are due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period, they are discounted to their present value.

2.17. Financial assets and liabilities

Recognition and derecognition

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual terms of the financial instrument.

Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards are transferred. Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is fulfilled is derecognized or expires.

Classification and initial measurement of financial assets

Financial assets are initially measured at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and trade receivables that do not have a significant financial component.

The initial measurement of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is not adjusted for transaction costs that are reported as current expenses.

The initial measurement of trade receivables that do not have a significant financial component represents the transaction price under IFRS 15.

Depending on the method of subsequent reporting, financial assets are classified into one of the following categories:

  • o debt instruments at amortized cost;
  • o financial assets at fair value through profit or loss;
  • o financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, with or without reclassification in profit or loss, whether they are debt or equity instruments.

The classification of financial assets is determined on the basis of the following two conditions:

  • o the business model of the Financial Assets Management Group;
  • o the characteristics of the contractual cash flows of the financial asset.

All income and expenses relating to financial assets recognized in profit or loss are included in financial expenses, financial income or other financial items, except for impairment of trade receivables, which is presented in line with other expenses in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Subsequent valuation of financial assets

Debt instruments at amortized cost

Financial assets are measured at amortized cost if the assets meet the following criteria and are not designated for fair value through profit or loss:

  • o The Group manages the assets within a business model that aims to hold the financial assets and to collect their contractual cash flows;
  • o According to the contractual terms of the financial asset at specific dates, cash flows arise, which are only principal payments and interest on the outstanding amount of the principal.

This category includes non-derivative financial assets such as loans and receivables with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial recognition, they are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Discarding is not done when its effect is insignificant. The Group classifies in this category the cash and cash equivalents / cash, trade and other receivables as well as listed bonds.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets for which a business model "held for contractual cash flows" or a business model "held for collection and sale" is not applicable, as well as financial assets whose contractual cash flows are not only principal and interest payments are reported at fair value through profit or loss. All derivative financial instruments are reported in this category except for those that are designated and effective as hedging instruments and for which hedge accounting requirements apply (see below).

Changes in the fair value of assets in this category are reflected in profit or loss. The fair value of financial assets in this category is determined by quoted prices in an active market or by using valuation techniques in the absence of an active market.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

The Group recognizes financial assets at fair value in other comprehensive income if the assets meet the following conditions:

  • o The Group manages assets within a business model that aims to hold the financial assets to collect contractual cash flows and sell them; and
  • o According to the contractual terms of the financial asset at specific dates, cash flows arise, which are only principal payments and interest on the outstanding amount of the principal.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income include:

  • o Equity securities that are not held for trading and which the Group irrevocably has chosen at initial recognition to recognize in this category.
  • o Debt securities where the contractual cash flows are only principal and interest and the Group's business model is aimed at both the collection of contractual cash flows and the sale of financial assets.

In case of disposal of equity instruments in this category, any value reported in the revaluation reserve of the instruments is reclassified to retained earnings.

In case of release from debt instruments in this category, any amount reported in the revaluation reserve of the instruments is reclassified to profit or loss for the period.

Classification and measurement of financial liabilities

The financial liabilities of the Group include borrowings, liabilities under finance leases, trade and other financial liabilities.

Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs unless the Group has designated a financial liability as measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for derivatives and financial liabilities that are designated for measurement at fair value through profit or loss (except for derivative financial instruments that are designated and effective as hedging tool).

All interest-related expenses and, if applicable, changes in the fair value of the instrument that are recognized in profit or loss are included in financial expenses or financial income.

Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value through profit or loss except for derivatives designated as hedging instruments for cash flow hedges that require specific accounting treatment. To qualify for hedge accounting, the hedging relationship must meet all of the following requirements:

  • o there is an economic link between the hedged item and the hedging instrument;
  • o the effect of credit risk is not an essential part of the changes in value that result from this economic relationship;
  • o the hedging relationship's hedge ratio is the same as the one resulting from the amount of the hedged item that the Group actually hedges and the amount of the hedging instrument that the Group actually uses to hedge this amount of hedged items.

All derivative financial instruments used for hedge accounting are initially recognized at fair value and are reported at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position.

To the extent that hedging is effective, changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as hedging instruments in cash flow hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income and included in the hedge of the cash flow in equity. Any inefficiency in the hedging relationship is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

At the moment when the hedged item affects profit or loss, the gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and is presented as a reclassification adjustment to other comprehensive income. However, if a non-financial asset or liability is recognized as a result of the hedged transaction, gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income are included in the initial measurement of the hedged item.

If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, any related gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred immediately to profit or loss. If the hedging relationship ceases to be effective, hedge accounting is discontinued and the related gain or loss is recognized as a reserve in equity until the estimated transaction.

Impairment of financial assets

IFRS 9 requires the Company to recognize a provision for expected credit losses for all debt instruments that are not carried at fair value through profit or loss and for contract assets.

Instruments under the new requirements include loans and other financial assets measured at amortized cost / fair value through other comprehensive income, trade receivables, contract assets recognized and measured under IFRS 15, and credit commitments and some financia guarantee contracts (with the issuer) that are not reported at fair value through profit or loss.

Recognition of credit losses is no longer dependent on the occurrence of a credit loss event. Instead, the Company considers a wider range of information in assessing credit risk and assessing expected credit losses, including past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportive forecasts that affect the expected future cash flow of the instrument.

In implementing this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made between:

  • o financial instruments whose credit quality has not significantly deteriorated since the initial recognition or have low credit risk (Phase 1);
  • o financial instruments whose credit quality has deteriorated significantly since the time of initial recognition or where the credit risk is not low (Phase 2);
  • o "Phase 3" covers financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the reporting date. None of the Company's financial assets fall into this category.

12-month expected credit losses are recognized for the first category, while the expected losses over the life of the financial instruments are recognized for the second category. Expected credit losses are determined as the difference between all contractual cash flows attributable to the Company and the cash flows it is actually expected to receive ("cash deficit"). This difference is discounted at the original effective interest rate (or the effective interest rate corrected to the credit).

The calculation of expected credit losses is determined on the basis of the probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected period of the financial instruments.

o Net investment in financial leasing

In determining the impairment of financial lease receivables, the Group is based on a three-step approach, which aims to reflect the deterioration of the credit quality of the financial instrument. At each reporting date after initial recognition, the Group assesses at which stage the financial asset that is subject to impairment testing relates. The stage determines the relevant impairment requirements. The Group uses a 5-point system to determine the credit rating of each transaction, and the criteria of the system used consider both the leasing asset, transaction parameters (down payment, term, residual value) and the financial condition of the individual client.

o Cash

The Group categorizes the banks in which it holds cash on the basis of a rating assigned to them by rating agencies (Moody's, Fitch, S&P, BACR) and, depending on it, applies a different percentage to the expected credit losses for 12 months.

o Receivables on loans

The Group has receivables from loans granted, which are categorized according to whether the borrower has a rating and depending on whether the receivables from such loans are overdue.

o Trade and other receivables, contracted assets

The Company uses a simplified approach to accounting for trade and other receivables as well as contract assets and recognizes impairment losses as expected credit losses over the entire period. They represent the expected shortfall in contractual cash flows, given the possibility of default at any time during the term of the financial instrument. The Company uses its accumulated experience, external indicators and long-term information to calculate the expected credit losses through customer allocation by industry and time structure of receivables and using a maturity of provisions.

o Judicial and adjudicated receivables

The Group's judicial and adjudicated receivables are categorized in Group 3, respectively as such they are individually considered by the management and each such receivable is assigned an individual impairment percentage.

2.18. Inventory

Materials and goods are valued at shipping cost. Their value is the sum of all purchase costs and other costs incurred in delivering them to their current location and status.

The write-off of materials and commodities upon their consumption is based on a specific or weighted average value depending on the segments.

The net realizable value of the inventories is stated at the sale price, less the completion costs and costs incurred to realize the sale and is determined with respect to marketing, obsolescence and development at expected sales prices.

When the inventory value of inventories is higher than the net realizable value, it is reduced to the net realizable value. The decrease is recorded as other current expenses.

2.19. Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets

Provisions are recognized when it is probable that current liabilities resulting from a past event will result in an outflow of resources from the Group and a reliable estimate of the amount of the liability can be made. The timing or amount of cash outflow may be uncertain. A present obligation arises from the existence of a legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, such as guarantees, legal disputes or burdensome contracts. Restructuring provisions are recognized only if a detailed formal restructuring plan has been developed and implemented or management has announced the main points of the restructuring plan to those who would be affected. Provisions for future operating losses are not recognized.

The amount recognized as a provision is calculated on the basis of the most reliable estimate of the costs required to settle a current liability at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties associated with the current liability. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the probable need for an outflow to settle the obligation is determined taking into account the group of liabilities as a whole. Provisions are discounted when the effect of time differences in the value of money is significant.

Third party benefits in respect of a liability that the Group is certain to receive are recognized as a separate asset. This asset may not exceed the value of the provision in question.

Provisions are revised at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the best estimate.

In cases where it is considered that an outflow of economic resources is unlikely to occur as a result of a current liability, a liability is not recognized unless it is a business combination (see Note 2.5). In a business combination, contingent liabilities are recognized when the cost of acquisition is allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired in the business combination. Contingent liabilities should be subsequently measured at the higher of the comparable provision described above and the amount initially recognized less accumulated depreciation.

Possible inflows of economic benefits that do not yet meet the criteria for recognition of an asset are considered contingent assets.

2.20. Equity and earnings per share

2.20.1. Equity

The share capital of the Parent Company is presented at its nominal value according to the court decisions for its registration.

Equity that does not belong to the economic group (non-controlling interest) is part of the net assets, including the net result for the year of the subsidiaries, attributable to interests not directly or indirectly held by the Parent Company.

2.20.2. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to shareholders, holders of ordinary shares by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period.

The weighted average number of shares is the number of ordinary shares outstanding at beginning of period, adjusted by the number of repurchased ordinary shares issued during the period multiplied by the average time factor. This factor expresses the number of days the specific shares were held in relation to the total number of days during the period.

In capitalization, bonus issue or split, the number of ordinary shares that are outstanding at the date of this event is adjusted to reflect the proportional change in the number of ordinary shares outstanding as if the event had occurred at the beginning of the submitted the earliest period. Reduced earnings per share are not calculated as there are no dilutive potential issued shares.

2.21. Liabilities

Financial liabilities are recognized over the period of the loan by the amount of receipts received, the principal, less the transaction costs. In subsequent periods, financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost equal to the capitalized value when applying the effective interest method. In the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, loan costs are recognized over the period of the loan.

Current liabilities, such as payables to suppliers, group and associates and other payables, are measured at amortized cost, which usually corresponds to the nominal value.

Deferred income is recognized as liabilities includes payments received in respect of earnings for subsequent years.

2.22. Financial Risk Management

Factors that determine the financial risk

In carrying out its activities, the Group companies are exposed to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, changes in the fair value of financial instruments under the influence of market interest rates and price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and risk of change of future cash flows as a result of changes in market interest rates.

The overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and aims to reduce any adverse effects on the Group's financial performance.

2.22.1. Currency risk

The Group is exposed to currency risk through payments in foreign currency and through its assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency. Foreign currency exposures result in gains or losses that are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. These exposures comprise the Group's monetary assets that are not denominated in the currency used in the financial statements of local companies.

With the exception of the Insurance Business, the Group operates mainly in Bulgarian levs and in euro. Management believes that with the Bulgarian Currency Board operating in Bulgaria and the fixed exchange rate of the Bulgarian lev to the euro, the Group is not exposed to significant adverse effects of changes in the exchange rate.

The Group has no significant investments in countries other than the countries in which it operates - Bulgaria, Romania, Macedonia, Ukraine and Georgia. In cases where the local currency is exposed to significant currency risk, its management is achieved by investing in assets denominated in Euro.

2.22.2. Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to the risk of changes in market interest rates, mainly with respect to its short-term and long-term financial liabilities with variable (floating) interest rates. The Group's policy is to manage interest expenses by using financial instruments with both fixed and floating interest rates. The interest rates on the majority of the Group's loans to banking institutions are based on one-month and / or quarterly and / or six-month EURIBOR, which at the time of preparing this report has stable levels - 0%. The companies in the Group pay a fixed margin to it between 2% and 6.0%. Therefore, the risk of interest rate changes is negligible.

The Group's exposure to interest rate risk is concentrated mainly in its investment portfolio. The Group controls this exposure through periodic review of its active positions. Cash flow assumptions as well as the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the investment portfolio are reviewed every six months. The purpose of these strategies is to limit large changes in assets related to changes in interest rates. The Group is also exposed to the risk of changes in future cash flows from fixed income securities resulting from changes in market interest rates.

2.22.3. Credit risk

The Group's credit risk is mainly related to trade and financial receivables.

The amounts presented in the consolidated statement of financial position are on a net basis, excluding provisions for uncollectible receivables, assessed as such by management, based on previous experience and current economic conditions.

The Group holds assets in a trading portfolio in order to manage credit risk. Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will incur a financial loss for the other party to it by failing to meet an obligation. The Group has implemented policies and procedures to mitigate the exposure of the credit risk group.

The Group's investment policy requires strict application of the diversification rules on exposure limits for each type of instrument and for an individual counterparty, set out in the insurance legislation of each country. The Group does not conduct derivative transactions.

The Group invests its own funds mainly in bank deposits, securities issued by Member States of the European Union, bonds issued by financial institutions or other companies. In order to implement its investment policy, the Group uses professional services of investment intermediaries that have received permission to conduct transactions in the country and abroad.

2.22.4 Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations when they become due. The policy in this area is aimed at ensuring that sufficient liquidity is available to service the obligations when they become due, including in extraordinary and unforeseen situations. The objective of the management is to maintain a constant balance between the continuity and flexibility of financial resources through the use of adequate forms of funding.

Liquidity risk management is the responsibility of the Group's management and includes maintaining sufficient cash, negotiating adequate credit lines, preparing analysis and updating cash flow projections.

2.22.5 Other risks Covid-19 (Coronavirus)

Due to the pandemic wave of Covid-19 (Coronavirus), which became global in late February and early March 2020 and led to a significant reduction in financial activity worldwide, the Group analyzed on the basis of currently available data the potential effect on its financial position and in particular on the models used, according to IFRS 9.

This disclosure complies with the requirements of IFRS 7 and IFRS 9, as well as the recommendations of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA).

As at the date of preparation of these Consolidated Annual Financial Statements, the economic activity has not yet fully recovered and sufficient statistical information is not yet available, both for the real effect on the Bulgarian and world economy and on available significant forecast data for their recovery in the coming months.

Development of Covid-19 Pandemic (Coronavirus)

The National Assembly of the Republic of Bulgaria declared a state of emergency dated March 13, 2020, which expired on May 13, 2020. Similar measures were taken by all Member States of the European Union, as well as by the main trading partners (outside the European Union) of the Republic of Bulgaria.

Similar measures have been introduced in other countries where the Group operates, such as Greece (March 11, 2020), Romania (March 21, 2020), Ukraine (March 14, 2020) and North Macedonia (March 18, 2020). As a result of the measures imposed by the governments, a significant part of the economic activity in the countries was suspended, also a significant part of the international trade was slow down.

Despite the subsequent drop of the measures, international financial institutions and international credit agencies expect a significant economic effect in short term, and the overall levels of economic growth are expected to recover in period 2021-2022.

The Group's management has analyzed the expected effect on both the economic growth and the credit quality of the countries (and respectively the counterparties) where it operates, and the analysis is presented below.

Effect on economic growth

The table below presents information on the expectations for economic growth of the Republic of Bulgaria, according to the data of the International Monetary Fund (April 2021)" https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/WEO/Issues/2021/03/23/world-economic-outlook-april-2021), including forecast data after the occurrence of the pandemic situation related to Covid-19 (Coronavirus).

The Group's Management has also analyzed the expected economic development of the countries where it operates, as the historical and forecast data from the International Monetary Fund are presented in the table below:

United Kingdom 1.7% 1.3% 1.4% 1.4% (9.8)% 6.8% 5.0%

As can be seen from the above data, the Management takes into account the possible short-term risks to the overall economic development of the main markets where it operates. The expected reduction of the Gross Domestic Product could be significant, but there are also general expectations for rapid recovery during the period 2021-2022 and a return to the average predicted growth levels before Covid-19 (Coronavirus).

Effect on credit ratings

As a result of the expected economic effects of the slowdown in overall activity, some rating agencies worsened their forecast on long-term debt positions, both in terms of government debt and in terms of corporate debt positions. The table below provides information on the change in the credit rating (including forecast) assigned by Fitch to the Republic of Bulgaria and to the Parent company of the Group.

Before Covid-19 After Covid-19
Rating Forecast Rating Forecast
Bulgaria BBB Positive BBB Stable
Eurohold Bulgaria AD B Negative B Negative

The following is information on the change in the credit rating (including forecast) assigned by Fitch to the countries where the Group operates:

Before Covid-19 After Covid-19
Rating Forecast Rating Forecast
Romania BBB Stable BBB Negative
North Macedonia BB+ Stable BB+ Negative
Ukraine B Positive B Positive
Georgia ΒΒ Stable ΒΒ Stable
Belarus B Stable B Negative
Russian Federation BBB Stable BBB Stable
Greece BB Stable BB Stable
Poland A- Stable A- Stable
Italy BBB Negative BBB- Stable
Spain A- Stable A- Stable
United Kingdom AA Negative AA- Stable

Management continues to monitor the development of the credit risk in relation to the countries where the Group operates, as well as the main investments (subject to both markets and credit risk) of the Group companies.

At present, despite the overall decrease of forecasts and limited cases of credit rating deterioration, the Management believes that before a significant period of time passes during which symptoms of deterioration in the overall credit quality of both investments and the general environment where the Group operates, it cannot perform a sufficiently sustainable and reliable assessment of the effect that Covid-19 (Coronavirus).

Analysis of the expected effect on the IFRS model 9

The Group (as a part of the Eurohold Bulgaria Group) applies IFRS 9 from January 01, 2018, although The Insurance business had the right to postpone its application until January 1, 2023 (joint application with IFRS 17).

The Group's management has analyzed the expected effect on the overall model of IFRS 9, the results of which are presented in detail below. The focus of the analysis includes:

  • o The assessment of the deterioration of the credit quality of the counterparties;
  • o The assessment of the potential effect on the expected credit losses from the exposures to the counterparties.

The general conclusion of the Management of the Group is that at the time of issuing this consolidated financial statement in short term, no significant deterioration of the credit quality of the counterparties is expected due to:

o The measures taken by the Government of the Republic of Bulgaria, the governments of the countries where the Group operates, including the applied private and public moratoriums, which currently do not lead to additional indications of significantly deteriorated credit quality of the counterparties. Management strictly monitors the existence of long-term indications of deterioration, as the general temporary potential liquidity problems of counterparties caused directly by Covid-19 (Coronavirus) are not considered indications of credit deterioration;

o At present, despite the overall decrease and the limited cases of credit rating deterioration, the Management believes that before a significant period of time passes during which symptoms of deterioration in the overall credit quality of both investments and the general environment in which the Group operates, it cannot perform a sufficiently sustainable and reliable assessment of the effect that Covid-19 (Coronavirus).

With regard to the model (including the complete and simplified one) for calculating the expected credit losses, the Management considers that it is possible to make a change in the general model. Management recognizes the possible short-term risks to the overall economic development of the main countries in which the Group operates, and in some markets, the expected reduction in Gross Domestic Product would be significant, but also takes into account the general expectations for rapid recovery in 2021-2022. to return to the average predicted growth levels before Covid-19 (Coronavirus). For these reasons, the Group's management has decided to review its model for calculating expected credit losses under IFRS 9 and to update some of its expectations, namely because the Management believes that some of the Group's counterparties may be affected from the deteriorating economic situation and in this regard has taken action to update some of the parameters in its calculation model.

As of 31 December 2021 sufficiently reliable both macroeconomic statistics and information on the medium-term levels of probability of default are not available, the management has not changed the expected credit loss of financial assets compared to that as of December 31, 2020, incl. of net investment in financial leasing, receivables from loans, trade and other receivables, deposits and cash in banking institutions.

2.23. Determination of fair values

Fair value is the price that would have been obtained on the sale of an asset or paid on the transfer of an obligation in a typical transaction between market participants at the valuation date.

Fair value measurement implies that the transaction for the sale of the asset or the transfer of the liability is carried out:

  • o the underlying market for that asset or liability;
  • or o in the absence of a major market - the most profitable market for that asset or liability.

The main or most advantageous market should be available to the Group.

In measuring the fair value of a non-financial asset, the ability of a market participant to generate economic benefits by using the asset to maximize its value or by selling it to another market participant that will use it in such a way is taken into account. The Group uses cost-appropriate valuation methods, for which there is sufficient available fair value measurement data, using as much as possible the relevant observable hypotheses and minimizing the use of non-observable ones.

All assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements are categorized according to a fair value hierarchy described as follows and based on the lowest rank of observable assumptions that are significant for the fair value measurement as a whole:

  • o Level 1 Adjusted (unadjusted) active market prices for identical assets or liabilities to which the Group may have access at the measurement date;
  • o Level 2 Valuation techniques for which observable lower rank hypotheses that are relevant for fair value measurement are directly or indirectly observable;
  • o Level 3 Valuation techniques for which observable lower case scenarios that are relevant for fair value measurement are unobservable.

External valuers have been used to measure the fair value of significant assets such as goodwill and investment property.

2.24. Cash flows

The consolidated cash flow statement shows the Group's cash flows for operating, investing and financing activities during the year, changes in cash and cash equivalents for the year, cash and cash equivalents at beginning and end of the year.

Operating cash flows are calculated as a result for the year, adjusted for non-monetary operating positions, changes in net working capital and corporate tax.

Cash flows from investing activities include payments in connection with the purchase and sale of fixed assets and cash flows associated with the purchase and sale of businesses and activities. Purchase and sale of other securities that are not cash and cash equivalents are also included in investing activities.

Cash flows from financing activities include changes in the size or composition of share capital and related costs, borrowing and repayment of interest-bearing loans, purchase and sale of own shares and payment of dividends.

2.25. Leasing

The Group as a lessee

The Group assesses whether the contract represents or contains elements of a Lease if, under this agreement, the right to control the use of an asset for a specified period of time is transferred for consideration. If it is established that the lease agreement recognizes the Group as an asset with a right of use and a corresponding obligation at the date on which the leasing asset is available for use.

A reassessment of whether a contract represents or contains elements of a lease is made only if the terms and conditions of the contract change.

Leasing assets and liabilities are initially measured at present value.

Leasing liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:

  • o fixed payments (including substantially fixed payments) minus any lease incentive receivables;
  • o variable lease based on an index or interest initially measured by the index or rate at the commencement date;
  • o amounts expected to be paid by the Group under guarantees of residual value;
  • o the cost of exercising a purchase option if the Group has reason to exercise that option, and
  • o payments of penalties for termination of the lease if the lease term reflects the fact that the Group exercises this option.

Lease payments that are made under reasonably defined extension options are also included in the liability measurement. The valuation of a lease contract with an option to extend the lease term should be taken plus 1 year to the fixed period. The Group acknowledges that this is the minimum for which there is assurance that an option contract may be extended.

The lease payments shall be discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee shall use the lessee's incremental borrowing rate.

The Group applies a three-step approach in determining the incremental borrowing rate based on:

  • o Yield of 10-years Government Bonds calculated as an average for the the last 3 years;
  • o financing spread adjustment loans to new enterprises, non-financial corporations in local currency, to determine the initial initial interest rate for a period of 3 years (for real estate) or the average interest rate on financial leasing to unrelated persons for the last 3 years (for vehicles);
  • o specific lease adjustment related to the specific asset (at the discretion of each individual asset).

The Group is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on an index or rate, which are not included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate take effect, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-ofuse asset.

Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

  • o the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;
  • o any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received;
  • o any initial direct costs, and
  • o restoration costs.

Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. If the Group is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the rightof-use asset is depreciated over the underlying asset's useful life.

Payments associated with short-term leases of equipment and vehicles and all leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss.

The Group adopts the threshold for recognition right-of-use assets of BGN 10,000.00, taking the price of the asset as new.

Practical expedients applied

In applying IFRS 16 for the first time, the group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:

  • o applying a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics;
  • o relying on previous assessments on whether leases are onerous as an alternative to performing an impairment review – there were no onerous contracts as at 1 January 2019;
  • o accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at 1 January 2019 as short-term leases;
  • o excluding initial direct costs for the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application;
  • o using hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease contract.

The Group has decided not to reassess whether a contract is, or contains a lease at the date of initial application. Instead, for contracts entered into before the transition date the group relied on its assessment made applying IAS 17 and Interpretation 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease.

The Group as a lessor

Lessors continue to classify all leases using the same classification principle as in IAS 17 and distinguish between two types of leases: operating and finance. (Note 2.11.2. Leasing activity).

Currently, the current military situation is a non-adjusting event, at the same time it is extremely dynamic and the management at this stage could not make a qualitative and quantitative assessment of the impact of the war on the Group, and will be assessed over time depending on its development , as well as from: the effects of the imposed sanctions on the Russian and Belarusian states and the effects of the reverse sanctions that Russia will impose on the states that do not support it.
